Why are you trying to open it?

If you're trying to install new firmware, you can find detailed firmware installation instructions here.

It says Phantom 4 will it still work?

Don't think the firmware will fix it.
You don't run the bin file on your PC, you put it in the root of an SD card and SD card inserted into gimbal.
Try relinking the RC to the AC.

Where did you buy it from? U should return it immediately and this time u should ask for one that's not already f***** up.

Here's what I get after downloading then trying to open it says Adobe reader could not open file P3x_FW_Vo1.09.0060.bin because either not supported or damaged I have a P1 & had no problems with it on loading/using firmware for a imu calibration or email wasn't properly decoded

You don't open the file or run it on your computer. See posts #2, #3, and #6 above for more info. Post #3 has detailed information.

Not sure I understand this is all new to me how does a person check their Phantom & say it has an ESC error or a obstructed motor for instance I am on a pc only & not a youngster so this is a learning experience

I'll try to put this the nicest way possible... It kind of seems like you are in way over your head. Typically, someone that bought a known broken one would already have a lot of experience at fixing these.

Dronesky,

You do not run the bin file on the PC. It is the firmware for the aircraft. Copy it to the root of the SD Card. You can either remove the SD card or connect the USB cable to the gimbal to copy the file.

Plenty of detailed instructions available for this.

No. See this link instead.

You would see it on the Go app on the Android/ios connected to the RC which in turn is linked to the AC.
