I bought a P4P from an ad on here that claimed it was a DJI warranty replacement bird that had never been flown and only powered on once. I received the P4P and it was somewhat dirty, but looked potentially new after I cleaned it (IR sensors had plastic film still in place, etc...). Is there any way for me to tell if the aircraft has been flown? How about if the gimbal and/or camera were swapped? I hooked up the aircraft and retrieved the FLYxxx.DAT files from the aircraft, tried to use DATCON to read them, but have had no luck extracting a CSV with it on my Mac.
So if the FLY000.DAT file date is from 2017-12-18, does that mean that was the first time that the aircraft was powered on and logged data? Could somebody, outside of DJI, deleted the original DAT files from before (I'm guessing that's not possible) If I were able to read the DAT log, would it show the proper serial number for the Camera and Gimbal? Is there another way to go about this?
The P4P appears to fly just fine and the camera seems to be working as well, but this transaction has made me nervous since since some of the accessories were not as the were promised to be (i.e. batteries are for a P4 and not the longer lasting P4P batteries).
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
