Hummingbird.UAV-
I'm really new to the drone world. I bought a new to me Phantom 3 Advance. I met a fellow in a public place and upon my arrival, he lifted it up to about 6 feet and then landed it. So it works, I'm happy.
When I got home I charged all the batteries and installed DJI GO on my laptop. This is where everything has started going downhill.
It has been a few years since I have flown a Phantom 3. It uses a large white transmitter to control it. The transmitter has a bracket to attach either a phone or tablet. The phone or tablet has to have the GO app installed on it. I don't understand why you are using a laptop.
To check if the Tx is connecting to the drone do the following.
Power up the Tx, note in the lower center there are 5 LEDs. The left one should be RED.
Power up the drone. In about 1 minute the left LED should turn GREEN.
If it does, it means the Tx is connected to the drone and means your problem is between the view device and the Tx.
You have stated that different USB cables were tried. However, I once flew a P3Pro drone where the connection between the Tx and view device was via wifi. (The default wifi pw was 12341234.)
Let me know if this info helps solve your problem.
