Hi Rob, this beta firmware can't fix the 'No Image Transmission Signal' issue. Could you please provide me with more details about this issue? I'll help you to troubleshoot it.
1. When did this issue start? Did anything happen before, like hard landing or crash?
2. Can you use the RC to control the drone?
Hi Diana,
Sorry for the delay in reply. Now I will start at the begining. I found this P4 advanced for sale about 2mths ago and went to inspect it. I flew the drone in the sellers yard but it had many high voltage powerlines on his boundary fence, so I only took it up to roof height, moved it in all directions then landed it. I bought it and took it home (very excited). now when home I set it up on the table to do all the checks including serial number checks and then I found the mAh on the battery not to be 5870 and only 5350, so I continued with the checks online (before the website closed down on 5 Nov) and the serial numbers confirm the drone to be only a P4, purchased in the US approx 18mths prior. So I contacted the seller and he apologised and accepted the return of the P4. About a month goes by and the seller contacts me and tells me I can now buy the P4 considerably cheaper as he only had a few more days before leaving the country. This is in line with what he told me when I inspected the P4 the first time. So I bought the P4 inspected it in the box but I did not fly it at his place. I came home and charged the battery on RC and drone and checked a few things. I connected the drone to the RC inside my home (now nighttime) and I was getting strong interferance messages popping up. The screen on the ipad during the warm-up process would give me a poor image of the room, very scrambled image, then it would change to 1/4 of the screen being clear but the remanding 3/4 of screen was solid green. then the screen would go totally blank and the "NITS" signal would appear at the top near the Dji logo. I took it out the next morning to a clear field near a large lake and flew up to 200m away and back. Its flight was very stable and it responded to all my commands except it would not take a photo or shoot a video. during the entire flight the screen continued to change from totally blank to the same as described the night before. Never at anytime did I get a full clear image for more than a few seconds and when I did get a good image, it would freeze, so I think it was having trouble connecting to the remote. Oh I forget to mention, during the warm up, it did all the crazy stuff the same as the night before. Something I forgot to mention when the drone was flying and close to me I noticed the camera was hard to the left and looking at the left skid/landing frame. Also on one or two occasions I turned the drone 90deg and it turned back by itself to its original position. I have never seen this type of behaviour before. I was concerned of a potential flyaway so I brought it home and started to do some troubleshooting. I attempted to refresh the firmware on the drone and it failed at 55%, I tried to refresh and it gave me confirmation of that step, so I again tried to upload the latest firmware 0106 and again it failed. I tried again without the sd card. I formatted the sd card and tried again. I tried 3 difference sd cards of various sizes, all while attempting to reload the latest firmware and always failing at 55% each time. The details are App 4.1.18 Aircraft 02.00.0106 RC 1.9.3 Flight database 01.00.01.07 basic app fly safe database 01.00.01.05 preciseapp fly safe database 01.00.01.07
I have screenshots with messages saying strong interference detected with radio channel quality = poor. I have a gimbal disconnected in the gimbal status. I have air encoder error 0 x 2800020 and then when I go into the firmware details (hold down the 3 horizontal lines 10 seconds, I get product unknown, current version unknown Rollback not supported and in the box where you would sellect a firmware it shows "None" So then I linked my P3P RC to the P4 and I was able to sellect a rollback firmware 1.6.0 then 1.8.0 and now I have uploaded 1.9.2 but it will not tell me there is a firmware update available for 1.9.3 which is strange.
The P3P RC is linked and I can fly the drone but it does not give me any image except during the warm up same as before with the P4 RC linked to the drone. So my conclusion is the problem is not the RC and it is the drone's firmware. The RC displays the green light indicating it is linked, The drone camera status light continues to flash red 2 times then green 2 times and continues this cycle.
I have to admit I am far from being a computor geek so any instructions will need to be "please follow these steps" sort of thing.
thanks Rob
