Use a multimeter to check from end to end of the cables to make sure there isn't a break.

Great news ........I think...........thanks for the updates "Glock4me"
Although the tech jargon seems to be getting even more challenging......any 'classes' out there?

You're absolutely right. You shouldn't have to fix new one in order to make it work as advertised.
They still advertise 500m but the real range is decreased to 350 (as per email I got from DJI and posted on this forum somewhere).
All of us should send it back...

So, i do this: my drone has 1.5.7+ downgraded fw. The range was terrible, about 20 meters. Then i upgrade with the go app to 1.6.8, and re link the rc. It's much better, its about 40 meter 
THEN: i put on sd card this beta 1.7.84, relink RC, and the result: i fly about 100 meters away! Its fantastic, this my record, because i have the phantom 3 days ago (so i just practicing, but i have lot of signal lost et short range!!!) and it can fly just 20 meters with 1.5.7. At the 100 meters, i have strong signal, but i live in very freq place with lot of trees and ect, so today afternoon i will go to more test! But it"s much better now, i suggest to upgrede, who have range problems!

Mine was 1.6.8 and the range was terrible, then I downgraded to 1.5.7 and the range increased significantly...not sure if I should upgrade to 1.7.8 cause if I do, I will not be able to downgrade back to 1.5.7 !

If you need to, can't you downgrade from 1.7.8 to 1.6.8 and then downgrade from 1.6.8 to 1.5.7 (i.e. a two-step process)? I can't see why that wouldn't work.
