Yeah I bought a DJI fpv drone was supposed to be new but later I found out it was a replacement drone however it was still new and just activated and I also bought a refurbished DJI fpv battery from an authorized dealer. The battery in the Drone failed on first flight during landing sequence.  But as I stated in this the Drone is considered out of warranty because it's a replacement however the battery is supposedly in warranty and should be considered under warranty now I know from the flight record that the main contributor of the crash was the battery failing during flight because it shows it up on the message during the flight log playback.  However when this was reported to DJI I get no support whatsoever this is not like the DJ I used to know I've had this issue exactly the same as this in fact it's up it was with a mavic to zoom in which the mavic 2 zoo was out of warranty used and the battery was a refurbished model from an authorized dealer and it failed during flight however DJI engineers claimed that that was an ESC error and it was an out of warranty situation.  Of course I knew better and I luckily got a hold of Holly in the h headquarters and she was able to have the investigation escalated and pulled the flight controller and examined it by a second or separate division which was able to assess it that the battery was the effective and the crash was due to the battery. To me these two situations seem somewhat similar especially in this case the battery is actually showing indicators before the crash of an error.   But DJI support non-responsive hard to deal with takes forever to get a response now just just leave a good way to put it.  Is this considered a warranty situation because the battery is in warranty and should it be covered?

I just wanted to mention that they were able to replace the mavic to zoom and battery because the battery being in warranty and causing  the
crash.  I thought that the Mavic incident was kind of relevant to mention.  Why is this FPV drone not covered?  Why is this not going to be a warranty issue how the Mavic 2 Zoom issue was a warranty issue?  I just I don't get it.?  Has some of the policies changed since a year and a half ago?

The ticket number or case number is

CAS-14340968-K7L1H5

Please take note that in this incident engineeres.  Were able to identify the battery that was in the Drone and has specified that the battery was not activated I was reading in the forums that technically that right there should be a dead giveaway there's something wrong because the Drone shouldn't be in flight without the battery being activated thought that was interesting.  

I would appreciate any help you get off of me with this case or incident.  I can't seem to get anywhere or move forward with it, thank you for taking interest.

I was hoping somebody could help me with these three cases I mean they just keep piling up and I can't get any help that fpv case and that I brought to your attention has been open for about 3 months now nothing happening no responses.  I've got a response from my mavic 2 case where engineers say the motor failure but since it's now out of warranty which it was only a month old when the accident happened and I filed the claim within the timely manner but they're telling me that now it's out of warranty and I've got to pay 50% on it I mean I don't know what's wrong how come I just can't get it replaced with me it took it's been over a year it's not my fault that it's out of warranty now it's because DJI has not been doing anything about the case.  And then now I've got a mavic 3 case where it's the third movie three that's went down all malfunctions that of the unit fact one mavic 3 went down the same day I got it.  Whatever the case is I'm afraid that the mavic 3 line isn't up to speed

Here's a great example of what's been happening to my fpv drones lately you know telemetry and everything is just not been working right well I captured it on video with yet another fpv drone that I purchased about five of them in the last year and a half or two it's getting expensive especially for somebody on disability but check out this video this is some of the stuff that I run into and I try to be open and straight up and let you have all the information you need and that's why I provide these things but DJI has been really just rude to me for some reason because yeah I purchase a lot a lot of DJI products probably more than most people will ever but yeah I've had problems too okay but not with all of them and DJI has been relatively good about it since I've got somewhat of a list of you know support tickets on my history they're treating me badly now.   And in some of the email correspondence that I've gotten yes they've indicated that my service tickets they won't offer me discounts or anything because it's the number of tickets I've had what does that have to do or anything in my opinion I mean I'm a loyal customer I've been I've been like married to DJI and then all the sudden they're kicking me out to the dog house it doesn't seem right to me I got that mavic two drone that just falls out the sky a month after it was activated not even that and your headquarters issued that drawn to me because of defective battery that I purchased at that time same with this fpv drone situation a refurbished unit which brought down the initial drone even though that drones warranty was up it was the warranty of the battery that covered the Drone and the battery and DJI was able to issue me another unit after an extensive investigation that lasted three to four months if I remember right where the flight controller had to be dismantled and sent to a special division for for basically they had to do an investigation and they found out that I was right the whole time in your engineers were actually wrong when it came to the park your engineers were saying the ESC failure I knew that wasn't the case when because of the circumstances of the problem you don't have an ESC failure when everything you have goes out all your power all your motors everything goes out that's not an ESC failure that's a battery failure there's a big difference now ESC failures you can have those and you can watch the damn drone come flying out the sky spinning around and around because usually one or two of the motors or something like that will fail you won't lose all your power I'm not even in a scientist and I know that but the engineers couldn't figure it out so I believe I know what I'm talking about in this case but DJI refused to listen and we've been going over this for about 6 months now it's 6..7...8 months maybe almost and that that's kind of that's really wrong.   But the reason I I decided to start using the forms and so other people can hopefully learn something from my situation if they have trouble cuz I'm here to try to enlighten you know like I share what I know cuz I like to learn stuff I love to see people sharing stuff with me that I don't know because I don't know a lot of things and I would love to learn so that's what's up everybody I'm telling you what's going on with my situation hopefully this this doesn't happen to you but if it does yes DJ I can recover your aircraft if it fails due to a battery malfunction even if your aircraft's not in warranty they've done it for me so yes they can but you're going to go through a lot of hell to get them to do it but you can get it if you're right stick with it don't give it up

All right well there's you two visual links that you guys can admire it you can see that this thing started back in last September 8th or so that's about we're talking about 7 months now and all it says to be determined and if you read through my emails like you said you was going to check you can you see that DJI is being prejudice with me because of my prior cases which shouldn't be an issue if they were approved and DJI found an incident that was caused by their manufacturing procedures or policy or whatever that may be why does the customer have to be penalized for that because he's a major consumer of your product but thanks I just want to know that you guys check it out
