I recently upgraded motors and ECS s to V3 along with the compass.  Everything works accept the GPS, At startup the P2 will not complete the initiation sequence only get the first 3 beeps then yellow flashing lights.  I have FPV, with the mini iSOD and H33d gimbal.  All work fine but no GPS do  I  need new GPS unit?

When you took the shell apart, did you plug the GPS unit back into the correct position where it says GPS?

I put in the GPS shield and had the FPS plugged into the wrong spot, it was acting like yours is doing now.  I took the shield back off and the plug was on the back of the board to the right side of the 4 white plugs.  My mistake.  After I got it in the right spot, everything was working ok.

Yeah sounds like the GPS is not plugged in. I took apart my phantom and then I wanted to start it up without the top shell on and I got the same sequence of lights that you're getting.If I were you I would doublecheck that connection.
