I have a phantom 2plus that is giving me fits. It connects to no satellites. I'veDone compass and IMU calibrations, IOC is on in naza mode. No satellites. It has been in for repair and I've
Been told it's fine, but it's not. It has spent more time shipping back and forth for repair than flying. Purchased earl this past summer flown like 4 times. Extremely frustrating. Any ideas would be great.

Are you connecting to the app? Is this where the no satellites info is coming from or is the machine flashing red lights constantly......?

S1 and S2 switches on the remote are both pushed all the way up yes?

Have you checked your area with another independent device able to detect satellites?

Video or photos would help along with some more information of your setup routine....
I know this is tedious, but the more information and understanding of the actual situation we get the better we can work it out,
or
You may be asked to send it in again if you wish to do that?

Have you had satellites after you sent it in for repair the first time?  Can you start the motors after the repair?

Thank you Mixstreme&Gerry1124~
Leiftv, more information will be much appreciated.

Switches are both up. I have not gotten any satelite aquisition since it has been returned. The motors do start up. I use the app on my galaxy s4. Lights flash red red red green. Not able to get home lock obviously. I have used a satelite detection app that shows no less than 17 satelites in the area.

Did you upgrade your firmware to 3.6V and encountered the problem after that? I have just read from another forum saying that there are many problems with this latest released firmware (3.6v). I started to get worried as well as I have just upgraded the firmware

I have the latest upgraded firmware. Really sucks not being able to use the phantom.

Have you tried opening the shell and verified  the GPS module is plugged in to the board? Maybe someone forgot to plug it back it...

If the GPS antenna was not plugged in to the right plug, the motors would NOT start.  Since he has started the motors, the GPS antenna has to be connected properly.  I made that mistake after installing my copper shield for my GPS unit.

Hi Leiftv,
When the phantom connects to the phantom assistant software, is there any error message?
If you tried different location but the drone still can not get more than 6 satelites, i am afraid there is something wrong with the GPS module.

No error messages on the app. I can't get any satelites. Zero show up. How do I proceed to get this taken care of?

You can check to see if the GPS module is cracked.  If you take the hood off and peel back the protective shielding you will see the module.  If you unscrew it, on the other side is a ceramic square, which is the GPS.  I have seen pictures where that has been cracked since it's pretty fragile.

I would hope thats not the case because the unit just came back from B&H repair.

I seem to be getting nowhere with this issue. I just want to get a refund for this unit as none seems to know what's wrong. I have all updated software, not flying in an area with interference and get zero satellite
acquisition. Can't figure it out. Anyone from DJI have a suggestion?

Going back to B&H for repair once again. Hopefully they fix it this time.
