I have a P3 STandard that used to work great.  Put it on the shelf for a couple of years and charged batteries.  Charged fine, but when I prepare for flight, I cannot get past the compass calibration.  Will not calibrate and I cannot get to spin propellers.    Have a camera feed.  Have 2 solid red and 2 flashing yellow lights.  Never crashed.  Is this thing salvagable or ready for the trash?

Understand.  Guess I'll toss it unless there's some salvage value to someone.

The second part of the compass calibration was not what I thought it was.  I don't remember now which way was right.  Point the camera at the ground and rotate the drone around the camera.  That was in my head but I don't remember if it was the solution or if it was the problem.

I was calibrating my Mavic Pro.  I bought it with a broken gimbal mount and ribbon cable, fixed it.  When I first flew it I got the toilet bowl effect and a warning about the compass.  Calibration fixed that too.  I need to learn more about flight records and log files for diagnostics.

Hope you get your Phantom going again.  I like my P3 Standard for the simplicity but not for the limited range.
