Check your S1 and S2 switches, both must be all the way up!Or try rebinding your RC to your Phantom!

You will need to give few more details:
Did you manage to get GPS lock before on the phantom and this is the first time you can't or you were never able to get green light?
Are you inside a building or outside with lots of trees/buildings around or outside in open space when you try to get the GPS lock?
When you connect your smart phone to the phantom, and open the app, how many satellites it locks on? Is it more than zero?
As asked before - is your S1/S2 switches up on the RC?
Those question may hopefully lead you to the solution.

All good points motia and the reason for this thread which I should update to include a few other points...
We're not Vulcans after all and cannot read minds...

To the OP, have you ever had a crash/hard landing and have you checked all your IMU etc?

I agree with North, sounds like your RC is not communicating with your bird.

It could be that the wire connection came loose between the GPS antenna and the board.  Perhaps it wasn't re-connected after opening the shell.

My guess is that the OP has found the problem and just not reporting back as this was a day ago...Wish folks regardless of how simple something may have been would at least let us know as we have all done some pretty dumb a$$ stuff...i know i have and i am not afraid to admit it...we learn by our mistakes.

I don't think he is breaking any forum rules but it is not fair on the people who have not only been interested enough to help him but also follow it up.

Hope he does the right thing soon.

North, I had a thread recently regarding the "no responses to our responses to questions" and it was taken off the forum by Ed.  It appears the thought is still there.
