I received my Mavic Mini yesterday and got it set up, updated firmware etc and everything was fine. Today I was ready to actually fly it but it won't turn on, battery indicator lights show up fine but the drone won't power on. It was fine yesterday so I don't get why it isn't working now. Any help would be really appreciated.

Did you remember to short press and then long press the power button?

If that doesn't work then something is wrong with your Mini :-(

I am doing the a short press followed by a long press but it doesn't turn on. I have emailed support so will most likely just have to wait and see.

Still no luck, I have no problem turning the controller on so I don't know why the drone would be any different.

Did you activate the battery by charging it for quite some time ?

Yep fully charged the battery before turning on the drone on for the first time.

Press looks quick but it might be just the video if managed RC , it’s a tough and really don’t know, can you discharge battery and recharge or do you have another battery.

Have you ever started it , just wondering what FW you’re on ?

Might just be DOA but very strange.

I got the fly more combo and have tried each battery with no luck. I started it yesterday updated firmware and did a quick "flight". Literally just hovered in my living room to see that it works.

Yeah that’s strange and impossible to get into assistant to do factory reset. I suppose you can only keep trying until you have to send back .

Tough brake.

there's no other way than to send back to DJI when AC have no powered up, it's hard to do some downgrade/refresh FW with DJI Assistant

So after flying it for 4 weeks without any problems. I’m not able to power on my drone. It has a fully charged battery, which the drone is recognizing the battery but after the short press, Still not cutting on

So what happened finally'; you logged a case and DJI fixed it ?
