Greetings fellow pilots.
I flew my Phantom 4 on Tuesday without any problems. Today,Thursday,my remote wifi not power up. Nor will the bird. When I press the post button twice on the rc the rc the lights flash like it’s gonna go for a second but then they go out. All the batteries are fully charged both the rc and the bird. I’m also trying to fly in the exact same spot as the other day. What could possibly happen to sudden give me this problem? I’m scratching my head over this and hope one of the pros here can help me out. Much appreciated!!!

When you press the post button twice?  

Yes... pressing the button twice. Like I said, two days ago it was working fine. Now... nothing. I just can’t understand why.

Thanks so much for the reply!!! Much appreciated

It is not a case of pressing the button twice, you press the button briefly, release it and then press it again and HOLD it until the device powers up.

Thanks for the great comeback... so much appreciated! And yes,it worked when I followed your instructions. I’ve never had this problem before but obviously I was doing it wrong today.

That being said, I have come across another problem. Everything was going great during my flight until it was time to return to home. All the lady’s voice says is “landing” and that’s exactly what it does. It lands but not where the low point that it recorded before takeoff. At first I thought that I was the problem by tapping on the wrong button...I’ve done this in the past, I’m ashamed to say. So I put it up again, making sure I was tapping the correct button. Same problem. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that there’s a setting somewhere that may have been changed, but what do I know?

There is a setting that determines whether the aircraft returns to home, or lands where it is. Also, if you hit Return To Home while the aircraft is less than 20 Metes away, it will NOT fly back home and land, it will land where it is currently.

Thank you for this... I’m going to give it another try tomorrow and will then let you know how things work out.

Maybe you should give the manual a good read and study.

Alabama... indeed the manual may be a very useful tool for me to use in this situation. But the problem with that is I’m currently in the country and have very limited internet access. I do have the manual at home and will be sure to go through it when I return.

Another thing that is not helping my cause is the fact that this is the first time flying in over a year. I’m not an experienced pilot to begin with so a lot of things that I knew last year have been forgotten. But with a little practice and the help I get on this great forum I’m sure I’m sure I’ll be up to snuff in no time
