Like other users my Vision 2+ has been standing idle for over a year and now I have the black screen problem. Unlike most others, it is only intermittent. I flew three batteries recently; with the first and third I had the black scree but the second was fine. Now I have it back home and have tried the ping test and it passed and I had vision back.

Friendship - you have done a fantastic job putting his fix together for us and I am really grateful for the time and effort you have put in. I have all the necessary parts en route from Amazon. I am reluctant to go ahead with it though is this is intermittent. Could it be that my NAND is actually OK and that I have a different problem?

Jetlagged, your symptoms were very similar to mine. A few times I flew I had the black screen issue but then once or twice it seemed ok and then all of a sudden I had a permanent black screen, actually for more than a year, until I found the fix. I would suggest the next time you fly and have the black screen issue perform the ping test and see if it fails, this will diagnose if it is the NAND flash image within the Wi-Fi module.

@Friendship7 Need some help - I am trying to fix my wifi module based on your instructions. I have purchased the same FTDI USB to UART chip. Installed drivers in both my Mac and windows machines. I have done the solders but I am unable to see any output except 2 or 3 dots "." in the terminal enumerator program. I have double checked all my connections. Solders seem solid. I will post the pics when I get back home. Is there anyway to confirm that CHIP is communicating with board correctly. The red light on bottom wifi board and FTDI chip both turn red when board is powered on.
I did the PING tests as well, 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.2 responded correctly while 192.168.1.10 one failed.

I think I have found the issue. I was connecting FTDI chip RX with board RX and TX with TX . Sad I was not careful in the instructions. I hope I haven't burned anything doing this. I will redo the connection at home tonight. I hope it works this time.

@Friendship7 - I can also confirm that your solution worked for me too. I was just not careful in connecting TX/RX pins. Process was very simple and well explained in your PDF. Just add an image with drawn lines from PCB to FTDI chip for layman like me so that they can confirm pins are correctly connected.

Thanks a lot for your effort and writing a perfect guide.

hi El-Diablo,
For a start we need to know what firmware you are on.
With everything turned on and connected, go to the about page of the app and list what the firmware versions are for Naza, camera and app.

Oh I do not received any email stating that someone answered to me !
Sorry, when back at home I will go through this menu but as far as I know, all firmware are up to date.

I will keep you posted soon,

Could someone told me if a version is not the good one in this case?

That all looks ok, so unfortunately  it seems that the Wi-Fi module inside the Phantom is faulty.
Spares parts are hard to come by now, and if you cant find a local repair shop, then opening a repair case with DJI will be an option.
Others on here have been quoted around £200 for the repair, so you might think about putting that towards another model instead.
Good luck.

Hiya,

Well funilly enough I have the vented unit and live in one of the coldest parts of the UK so there's no way this was an overheating issue that they like to use as an excuse! I was actually in 3 degree weather when I last used the unit and it was then kept in my car for 9 months (in the boot) - again, always kept in cool conditions. I've heard the overheating issue but I'm not convinced - it was perfect 9 months previously so I was in complete shock when it no longer worked. The only reason I was testing it out was to stick it on Ebay and upgrade to a 4... well forget the upgrade as I don't trust it to last more than 2 years like this unit. DJI has let me down with this to be honest

Will you look at mine also please? Jim 07772575088

OK but if the wifi module is broken, why I can ping the board to the address 192.168.1.10 !
I've seen on some different forums that the wifi module breaks only if the ping fail ...
This is why I was asking for another idea ...  I became a bit lost with my DJI  :-)

Anyway thanks for your reply Harbouside ;)

It was 9 months since my last flight so it's certainly something to do with leaving the units for a while. Either replacemant or reflash will fix it.

As you are based in the UK, I'm happy to have a look at your WiFi unit and confirm if it's the same issue as me and also if the fix applied will work for all units with the issue. I'm looking for volunteers based in the UK so it's easier to ship/meet.

Could you look at mine please???

Wow!  This is some kind of joke.  There are so many people with this problem, it has to be due to faulty design or a faulty product.  It doesn't sound like DJI is doing anything about it.  I guess we are all just SOL?  Unbelievable

Thanks for the wonderful and detailed instructions.
I also have a DJI Phantom Vision 2+ and after sitting more than 1 year in the box (due to the awful Belgian Law) I wanted to see if it was still operational.
At first I thought that the missing preview image was due to the app because I upgraded my iPhone.
I found it very strange that the last time I used the drone it was fully functional and I didn't crash it, it was stored in a proper case.
Very strange that this memory chip becomes corrupt.
I now have applied a better silver conducting thermal paste to the chip to keep it cooler, but I think it was just the time corrupting the data.

If anyone needs my assistance to fix their module in the same way, I'm happy to help.
I'm living in Belgium at the coast.
Send me an e-mail: Tom_Versluys@yahoo.com .

DJI should inform owners of these drones that there is a fix.

Many thanks to anyone who has contributed to this solution. I'm so happy to have a fully functional drone again.

Hi i have managed to get my fpv working on my vision and it does work every time.
First thing is can you see everything on your phone or tablet apart from live feed.
If you can then do the following.
Turn transmitter on then the drone.
Turn your wifi on on your phone or tablet.
Turn on wifi extender.
Look and see when your devive has connected.
When it has connected then open the dji app.
Then press on camera.
And there you go it works every time.

Ok - So I bought all the stuff to fix my Phantom after getting a really poor response from DJI customer care. Tried to build a jig to flash the card but I couldn't get a reliable connection so I bit the bullet and started to solder the wires on. When I did it everything worked fine until I tried to solder on the power connectors. The contacts seems to get covered in some melted plastic from somewhere and the solder wouldn't take. I scraped away the plastic and now the two contacts are shorting out so I guess this board is now useless? Unless anyone knows if there is another way to safely power the board.
I did get as far as getting then and boot error on my gig but the connection was too unreliable to risk the flash. I also couldn't get sfh_DM36.exe to run on my computer. it kept opening then closing immediately - tried it on a windows 10 machine and an old XP laptop I had lying around. Has anyone else experienced this?

I'm posting this just to let people know that you have to be even more careful than I was when you are soldering and believe me I was REALLY careful.

I'm absolutely fuming with DJI - cost of drone £1000 number of flights 5 - cost per flight  £200. Was thinking about buying a Mavic Pro but I'm not giving DJI another penny.

Hi Darren,

I'm only familiar with how to recover the Wi-Fi module in the P2V+ and not the P2 with FC200. I had another forum member contact me about the same issue on the P2 but I'm afraid I'm not familiar with the P2 and its Wi-Fi module.

I purchased the Phantom from an individual, not a store. 6 months later, after winter storage, I han no live video feed.
I tried all the internet fixes, nothing worked. Called dji, since I did not buy from dji or an authorized rep, there was no warranty.
Cost to fix was in the hundreds of dollars, then some reported that after the wifi module was replaced, the same black screen appeared.
I got frustrated with an expensive quad and not being able to use it as intended. So I did some major modifications, didn't cost much. Now I have video, osd and actually like it better.
Here is a link to my youtube fix. I discuss what I did in video.
Hope this helps.

Ive also flashed fixed the wifi on the P2V+ which seems to be fine, its easy to do if you dont mind a bit of find soldering work,

Bought my Vision 2 Plus when it first came out.  Haven't used it for a while.  Took it out a week ago; made a couple of flights with no issues -- except my batteries seem to need cycling.  Updated iOS to 10.3.3.  Tried to fly tonight and got no video feed.  Nothing has happened to the PV2+ -- just the iOS update.  "No internet connection,"  No video stream.  Did all the rebinding and steps suggested in these posts.  Interesting that DJI only responds "Send it in (for the $250 repair.)"  There goes my Mavic plan until I hear they actually have a customer service mentality.  I took the P2V+ out because I wanted to check it out before I sell it and buy the Mavic.  That's not going to happen.  Has anyone solved this?
