Hello - if anyone can please help me, I would GREATLY appreciate it. We bought a family member a phantom FC40 for his 50th birthday. The celebration is tonight, so we are obviously trying very hard to get it working before then. The issue is that, when I turn it on, it keeps giving me three red lights followed by one green. Also, moving the sticks on the transmitter does nothing, which I assume has to do with the red light faults. I would have thought that I could fly it manually even without the GPS, but if that is possible, I can't figure out how to do it. Hooking it up to the NAZA-M V2 assistant on my PC shows that it has all the current firmware.
I've been researching this for hours and have come to believe that the three red lights means that it is connecting with 5 of fewer satellites. We live in New Orleans - not sure that has anything to do with satellite access or not. I opened the unit up to make sure the GPS unit in the housing roof was properly connected, and it appears to be (though they "soldered" it with what looks like glue that is overlapping on other small components). It is also properly connected to the GPS unit on the phantom's leg stand.
Help?
