A real newbie here. I bought the Phantom and had it working within short period of time. Then I went to use it again and after installing a fully charged battery I get absolutely nothing......no lights...no beeps...nothing. The battery/quad is a week old and has barely been used...maybe 5 minutes...no crashes either. I can't even turn it on to try setting it up from scratch. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
 
Do u have a battery checker? check that battery is ok and fully charged. You could use a multimeter to see what voltage its getting maybe it lost a cell?
 
is that something I could buy at Radio Shack? My charger is flashing green, but nothing happens when I install the battery into the Phantom. I appreciate your input.

You can buy them at Radio Shack and Sears. But for the B&M price at either of those locations, you can buy a nice one from Amazon such as http://www.amazon.com/Klein-Tools-MM200 ... multimeter

I almost bought that one, but settled on this one instead (works great, just a bit cheaper): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EV ... UTF8&psc=1

tbokane, if you need something that ONLY checks levels on a LiPo/LiFe battery (i.e. not a full multimeter), you can use something like this: http://www.buddyrc.com/3-in-1-battery-c ... arger.html
