Can't Seem to Update/Repair

[Tdbrueggen]

I recently crashed my P3S, and afterwards it won't connect internet. It picks up the wifi signal but says "no internet connection".

I sent it back to DJI. They "fixed" and verified it was all flight tested. But I get it back and that doesn't seem to be the case.

It was saying it needed and update (firmware, software maybe). I followed the prompts and at 40% through the update it failed.

Now I turn the drone on and try to work with it. It just beeps at me very loudly, like a warning buzzer on ticking bomb. But it doesn't show any error messages or seem to do anything different.

How do I go about diagnosing the issue or redoing the update? Can I plug it into the computer and do anything?

I'm pretty irritated DJI sent it back like this, but maybe that's standard that they wouldn't run an update. I don't know.

Nah. How do I re-link. I was just reading through instructions and don't see stuff about linking. I did it all when I first bought it and all was fine.

It's odd. The camera connects, so I can see the camera footage via my phone, but it still says "no internet connection" and won't actually let me operate.

It's as if it maybe just needs a full reboot or something. I've been just trying to see what I can do with settings and prompts through the DJI GO app, but does plugging it into a computer make any difference?

Ok it seems to be working now. I had to connect it to my other phone in order for it to prompt the firmware update again. It got to 40% and stalled, but after a minute or so it continued.

I had to put the dang thing in a big trash can with a lid outside to try and contain the obnoxious beeping. Did a few test flights and all seems up to snuff now.

Errrmmm....sorry but your phone will say 'No internet connection' because your phantom isn't an internet router, it wont have any affect on the app.

I was about to say the same thing. Mine looks like that every time I connect to it because the app uses the Phantom WIFI to stream the video, not connect to the internet. That's what your cellular data is for. BTW if you are using a device that doesn't have cellular data then you can't get internet access (via wifi) while connected to the Phantom.

Oh sorry, that's redneck slang. "Up to snuff" means "up to expectations".

It doesn't seem I need to relink. Finally got the firmware to update and was able to successfully fly the drone again.

P3S doesn't have sport mode.

I hope that's not the only reason you sent it back. The P3S isn't supposed to connect to the internet. In other words, "no internet connection" is normal.

If you ever need to relink, the instructions are in the manual. I don't remember if they're in the Quick Start Guide (NOT the same thing as the manual - the manual has to be downloaded from the DJI website).
