I hope the experts here can help me with this issue. For context, I've tried flying the FPV drone outdoors twice with the same result. I've added a few pictures and two short clips to provide additional information.

I have updated everything to the latest firmware updates, as shown in the pictures. However, I have yet to see why the drone isn't taking off. The only thing that I've noticed is the RED icon at the bottom, which I think might be the sensors?! For the most part, the propellers don't even spin up after pushing the joysticks inward/outward in the N mode.

I don't know where to go from here, and I hope I can get some answers from this community.

It may be because you're inside and have no satellites. Though I can take off inside...

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble. Can you please try to take the drone outside of your house and check if the issue persists? Please make sure that you are flying in an open space to avoid issues. Thank you for your valued support.

DJI Paladin. in my original post, I stated that I've tried flying the drone outdoors twice and having the same issue.

What else could it be?

Thanks!

I had something similar. Have you changed your top cover? Do you get a GPS error in the status menu? Mine did, i had to take it back and get it replaced. DJI wanted it in for repair but i had coverage from recent purchase.

Check the status in the goggles when connected to the drone.

Hey DJI Mindy, thanks -- I'm not sure where the BATTERY serial number is, so I just took a picture of each of my batteries; one was the DJI replacement from my DOA one that came with the drone, and the 2nd one, I purchased online.

Hey Malakai_UK, I've done that before, but the STATUS in the Goggles is empty, no warmings, nothing.

Thanks!

I think I figured it out. The issue is with one of the batteries -- I came to this conclusion after using the battery I bought from an online 3rd party seller S/N: 37WPJ17AA105FE, and the drone responded as intended and allowed me to take off.

The battery that I received as replacement from DJI (Case# CAS-8681107-T8S1J5 - S/N: 37WDJ6VCR20225) DOES NOT work with the drone. The drone never responded and continued to flash in RED lights. I should have done this before. My bad.

I have sent a followup email to DJI support hoping I can get an answer soon.

Thanks!

Hey DJI Mindy, thanks so much. For the most part, I'm using my other battery to learn and fly the drone.

I cant take off outside. I know I have the propellers on right though. I Dont know if this has anything to do with it but the obstacle avoidance icon is red. do you know how to fix this?
