P3a not wanting to take off

[Mr DroneNut]

My p3a has been doing some crazy stuff in the last few weeks . Up until then she flew just fine. I go thru all the load up steps with no problems, and then when I do my csc ,nothing. The camera is working. All the osd is working. Still nothing. I try my slider ,nothing. I have noticed that when I do my csc ,the camera moves a little bit. I can go to my settings, and where it shows max height it shows a red line with a 0 thete. No matter what number I enter it goes back to 0. I have to start and restart my p3a and controller several times to make it start. ALSO it shows "signal lost" several times during flight ,and when I push the record video button, it takes up to 7-8 seconds for the"bong" noise. HELP. I'm at a loss. I'm afraid of a flyaway, or worse ,a fall from flight. Thanks in advance for your help.

Try calibrating the IMU and the compass.

My advice....stop trying to fly it for now or you'll end up with a mangled pile of plastic and electronics.

Investigate...get answers....find solutions.....THEN try flight again.

Have you tried reconnecting/resynching the controller to the aircraft?
Maybe a neighbor has focused a microwave beam directly at you? Try another location a mile away?
Are you in a NFZ?
(Sorry if this doesn't help....It's late, I've had a few margaritas.....seen my salt shaker?)

Thanks. I just did a firmware update on the DJI GO app. Gonna go out and try that.Will keep ya'll posted.

There is a setting in the GO app for max altitude. Is yours set to 0?

Could you have possibly switch control modes? As in mode 2 or mode 1

I updated the remote. It got better. THEN I tried to format the SD card. It failed. Took out the card ,replaced it with a Sand Disk. BINGO! !!!!!! The 64gb disk I got from Geek was corrupt. I guess ya can't get a good 64gb disk for $2.00 anymore! !!!!!!
