Folks
My first post on the forum. I got my P3A out for the first time this year to prepare for the flying season. It has been stored carefully for the last 7 months.
I brought all the batteries back up to full charge and connected up. I observed that there is no video signal from the camera but the gimbal itself was stabilising correctly and responding to tilt input from the RC. I tried the following:
- Resetting and reconnecting RC and AC,
- Clearing App cache, Reinstalling the DJO Go App
- Switching to different Ipad
- Formatting Micro SD Card
Nothing worked so I thought I would try a firmware update to 01.11.0020 by copying it to the Micro SD card. The AC did not initiate the firmware update, so I am starting to wonder about the Camera module. I observed the following
- Camera Gimbal LED isn't coming on. Even starting the AC with no SD card (which I believe is supposed to make the gimbal LED flash) does nothing.
- Connecting to the AC via USB, Windows indicates a USB device error
- I disconnected the camera module, checked both ribbon cables for damage, and then reconnected everything. Still the same thing.
My conclusion is that somehow, even though the AC has been kept secure over winter and the batteries were brought up to full charge, powering up the AC has somehow fried the Camera / Gimbal module.
Can you think of everything else I could check? Is this a recognised failure mode for the camera / gimbal unit?
Thanks...
