So I've had this drone for 3 years now and it suddenly stopped working.  the app shows radio channel quality constantly blinking from red to green, but it never stabalizes enough to fly the drone more than 10 feet or so without losing image and signal quality.

Hi Crinfarr, please change to an open area and make sure there won't be much interference nearby. Besides, please make sure that the firmware has been updated to the latest version, try to relink the drone and controller. See if this helps.

I reflashed the firmware and re-paired the controller, I'm still getting the same error.  I'll try again in a new location tomorrow, but I'm starting to think it could be the hardware.

If it makes no changes, you may send in the drone for diagnosis. Please start a service case first https://repair.dji.com/repair/index?site=brandsite&from=nav.
