Hey guys, I was just wondering if any will be able to help me out here. Pretty recently I had a significant crash. I took the drone in to get the motors done but that didn’t seem to fix the problem. Everything links up the RC connects to

The drone just fine but when i go to take off there is no response from the drone whatsoever. Even when I swipe for automatic
Take off the drone says it’s in flight but there is no response from the rotors at all. If anyone has any idea what this may be PLEASE
Help me out here!
(Also the drone I’m using is the phantom 3)

Did you check all components of the AC especially the IMU and barometer. May be the IMU or barometer has a bug.

I checked the IMU and it said it required no calibration. For some odd reason it says i have no GPS positioning and the home point is still at the point where the crash occurred. This also hasn't allowed me to change the home point. In addition to this, the gimbal moves from left to right with the movement of the left stick even though it is not in flight. Also, the AC itself says its in flight when i slide to take off even though it is still landed.

Could you calibrate the IMU yet? Can it be the GPS antenna is unplugged through the crash and the control antennas too? The movement of the gimbal is normal if you move the left stick when the motors still idle.
Can you start the motors with the CSC on the RC ? Rear lights show up ATTI

I would take the aircraft back to the place where you got it repaired, they have obviously not done a good job of repairing it.

Hi there, may I know where did you send the drone for repair? Is there any case number for further follow-up?

Hello busy. Not sure if this is a similar problem to what I'm having but try to disconnect the 8 grey wired connector from the phantom to the gimbal. Now try turning it on. Turn the phantom on wait till it beeps before you turn your rc on. Wait s little and activate your motors. See what that does. Please advise what happens, I'm truly intrested to know. Happy times
