hey,
I cannot link the spark to my phone nor the controller, so i tried to reset (as suggested by other treads and youtube), but it will not beep/reset at all. It all went fine two days before, but when i was to fly it again, it wouldnt connect to the spark. Spark´s wifi doesn´t appear, making no connection between spark and controller/mobile. What am i supposed to do in order to make it link.

hi David!

do you have the "fly more combo"?
if yes, did you try with the other battery as well?
the controller should be linked with your Spark but in order to connect to the Spark it should be within 20cm/less than 1ft near the Spark.
if holding the power button on the battery are there any beeps?
if still not working, probably a case with DJI support will help.

Hey, thx for reply
I dont have the fly more combo, but i have 2 batteries, and have tried with both, and within 20cm distance, still doesnt work.. not any beeps at all:/
Is this the right tread for DJI support?

David, please provide me the info of the firmware, you can provide a screenshot of it. And you can try to flash the firmware by DJI Assistant 2. Please keep us updated, thanks.

Contact DJI support and they will ask you to mail them for replacement since it sounds like a technical issue.

Hey Elektra,
I just tried to connect the DJI to the Mac with DJI assistant 2, but it did not recognize the spark (i did have over 50% charge and was connected to wifi on mac, and with the cable plugged in). So i could not get the info of the software. However, i did my last software update/download on the dji go 4 app the 14th of january (which i had to do in order to fly. And haven´t updated since). The 18th jan was my first unsuccessfull attempt to link the spark.

Another strange observation about my spark is that it gets really heated when it is on - just sitting there (not the battery, but on the upside where the air goes out and around get heated). And when i turn the spark off, it takes a lot more time than it did before (and than it is supposed to take), and just before turning off all 4 lights light red in about 1 second.
Everything seems to be going bad with the spark now that i am on holiday.

Here are some pictures of my attempt to connect to assistant 2, and history flights.

So, you guys first turn on Spark, let it boot (wait till lightshow is over)  and than press and hold battery button?
Cause, that's how you should do it.

I had the same kind of issue (lost linking, no possibility to reset anything, no beeps when holding power button, lost connection with dji assistant). I actually did resolve it in my case by removing the SD card which turned out to be fault. Seems like spark is trying to read/mount/format and when it fails doing that it goes into some unexpected state in which it doesn't put out wifi signal so you cant connect and also doesn't react to any "reset" functions, be it resetting link to RC, resetting wifi, etc. Anyhow- if you have simmilar problem make sure you also try to remove sd card- it seems like if its faulty it might actually give you this kind of sympthoms.

Maybe not the same issue, but surely another one. In my guarantee made me get a new body, which they had to do in order to fix it. Took 6 weeks or so for the service tho.

hi David!

do you have the "fly more combo"?

I'm having the same issue , my spark is not getting reset while holding the power button , and when i tried to connect it to Dji assistant my mac is not recognizing it.
And the biggest issue is I'm from Dubai and we don't have a Dji service center over here.

Hi felipek7,

Excellent show video!
To turn the Spark off, you need to do a short click, then a long one.
It seems your Spark does not boot correctly or incompletely, since the gimbal does not move when you move the Spark around.
May be you should try to refresh the Spark's firmware via DJI Assistant software.
If that doesn't help, contact DJI support.

Cheers,
Wolferl

Hi.
Have you found the solution? I had the same issue (more or less...) with my SPARK.
-No wifi link to phone.
-No sounds on start, no motor lights.. well any kind of sound. On power on the drone was very hot.
-No sounds after press long on button.
-NO BATTERY CHARGE with usb.
-I can connect trought remote control, and then connect to phone with cable to DJI GO. I see camera image but i can't move. I can't arm and no battery information, I see N/A on battery. Any other error is displayed.
-Trought DJI assistant I can connect and update frimware to the latest V01.00.1000 but was the same. I had to try 6 or 7 times and read error 0x02a303 but finally was updated!!.
-I tried to do a factory reset by DJI assistant but I can't do.

please help...
