I just received my Phantom 2 Vision+ (v3.0) this week. I have been watching every video I could, read the manual, quick start guide, and talked with fellow pilots. I updated the firmware on the bird, and was getting ready to take it out for a quick first flight this morning. First problem, I was getting a 'battery invalid' message on my Vision app, then I noticed that the Phantom LEDs were solid red. I checked for advice online and read that cleaning the battery contact can sometime fix this issue. I did that, and reseated the battery a few times. Battery invalid message went away. Awesome! Now, I go to start the motors. Motors begin turning, then stop, along with the smell of burnt electronics. Now, whenever I try to power it up, I get the battery light on for about 2 seconds, and some kind of muffled beep instead of the normal tones then it immediately shuts off. Not really the best first experience. And my wife was already not too thrilled about me getting it in the first place, and now this is just giving her ammunition to say 'I told you so.'
From what I have read, I am suspecting that this is related to an ESC problem? Any thoughts?
