Hi, this happened to me one time after an update. I had to re-link the r/c to the a/c. Page 24 of the manual shows you how. Hope you get it going.

You could not find FW because you formatted the card !

When the FW is downloaded via Go ... it goes to your tablet / phone. Then when you start the update - it transfers it to the SD card BEFORE starting actual update of the RC / AC.

OK - Question : Once update completed (for some reason latest FW did not stop the BEEP on mine !) - did you switch and restart everything ? What happened ?

Have you taken card out of camera and looked at the txt file in the root - this tells you what happened ... (ignore the aborted due to same or older FW bits).

IF the update has failed ................

The usual way to complete a failed update - for ME ... is to :

Have the FW bin file on the card.

REMOVE card from camera.

Start RC
Start AC

AC will flash red on the gimbal because it cannot find the SD card.

Now insert the card with FW file on it ...

Gimbal will now flash RED / GREEN as it does its job.

Go have a cup of tea ... it will take anything up to 20 mins or so ...

Check and if gimbal LED is green - all done ... you may still have beeping ...

Switch all off ...

Start up all now as normal - leave card alone.

You should only have to re-input your settings to GO as latest FW reverts all to Factory defaults.

You will have to login to account on restart to verify and all should be fine.

thanks, Nigel ... this one was really weird.
When I pulled the card from the drone to check it again (had previously reformatted), it had the TXT file & the BIN file on it, so I'm guessing it downloaded again?
I started RC - immediate beeping again
I started AC - still beeping (solid red light - no flashing)
I inserted card - Beeping stopped immediately.
Launched software (I did reinstall prior to doing this) - Indicated Current Firmware
Not exactly sure what happened here, but it appears to be ready to go
Thanks for the step sequence ...

by the way, the TXT file did indicate "Success" so I'm not sure why the beeping started ...
