Hi, babybang. Thank you for the reply. Please try the following steps below to isolate the issue:
1. Please press the Power Button for one second, then again, hold it to power the remote controller on.
2. Please press the power button once to check if the battery level LEDs are light on. If not, please charge the remote controller, then try it again. If the remote controller cannot be charged, please replace the charger if possible. If it still can not work, please send back the remote controller. (Please see below for more details).
3. If the battery level LEDs are light on, please try to connect the charger, then power on the remote controller to see if it is normal, if not, please send back the remote controller. (Please see below for more details).

Hi everyone,
I was flying my drone today and suddenly the controller DJI RC (the one sold with MINI 3 ) turned off suddenly and is not at all turning on. There's no led blink on the start up ( one press and press and hold) as well as no led blink while charging as well.
Can anyone help me out on the same. I purchased the drone and RC from indonesia while I live in India.
The drone MINI 3 is turning on and is charging as well but there seems to be an issue with the remore controller.
Please provide assistance on the same.

Hi there. Sorry for the late response and we do apologize for the trouble. Please confirm if the DJI RC still won't turn on after connecting to the charger. If yes, I'm afraid that you may consider sending the RC in for proper diagnostics. You may contact our team at https://www.dji.com/support to see the best option for you to send the unit or you may contact your local dealer to see the available after-sales services. Thank you.

Hi DJI Team, My Mini 2 remote is not switching on, i bought this in UK and am now in India. Not sure what to do

Hi DJI,
I have the same issue as a LOT of your other customers have encountered…was mid-flight, and as I recall there was some kind of update that popped up, and my controller that had full battery instantly went dead and I had to frantically wait to see what would happen to my drone.
Luckily it returned to home but still frustrated over here at how to get this resolved…
It is a DJI mini 2
Thanks,
John

Hi there. We do apologize for the trouble that this has caused. Please try to leave the remote controller on the charger for approximately 2-3 hours or more then check if the issue persists. Use a USB-C cable to connect an AC power charger to the USB-C port of the remote controller or Use a USB-C cable to connect a USB Power adapter to the USB-C port of the remote controller. Please keep us posted with the result. Thank you for your cooperation.

Tried this several times before I wrote here. Tried again. Using original charger. RC looks dead.
(I was able to charge my phone with the same cable as I used for charging RC.)

So is there anything I can check on my own? Any chance of rollback previous firmware? Anything?
(I'm highly technical person and my drone is out of warranty anyway...)
Thanks!

I think I have the same issue with this chip https://www.mouser.sk/ProductDetail/Qorvo/QPF4550SR?qs=sPbYRqrBIVlLetQedhniXA%3D%3D

Finally sent RC for repair to DJI....

My DJI-RC-231 controller shut off mid flight today a few minutes after the latest firmware update. Seems to me like the firmware bricked the controller? I ended up having to retrieve my mini 3 pro from my roof! My dji care ended a couple days ago. I followed all the troubleshooting posted here with no luck,  what are my options here?

Hi there. Sorry about the trouble. 'm afraid you need to submit a repair request to get your remote repaired. You can submit a repair request to the DJI Official website using this link: https://repair.dji.com/ca/repair/index. The warranty can be applied depending on the assessment's outcome, including your unit's warranty period. We appreciate your patience.

After reading all the comments and responses. It seems DJI support is as useless as tits on a bull. I’m furious at the fact everyone is having the same issue and all support can say is “have you tried charging it?”. Of course everyone here tried every troubleshooting process they could think of and more. Prepare for a class action lawsuit because that’s the route I’m going. This is unacceptable that so many products are being rendered inoperable with so little use. FYI, sending the product to DJI for diagnostics and repair just to be charged for the repair that should be free due to manufacture error is also unacceptable.  

So many users happened to face the same problem. I'm also facing the problem after updating the RC's firmware when the apps requested to update the firmware. The thing is, why DJI's firmware bricked the RC? Yes, we users have tried changing charger cable and chargers because we are not the first time user and also we use smartphone which the process of detecting why phone cannot be charged is the same process. Are this firmware updating and bricked RC is a way to force user to buy new drone?

i think we all contacted support ....what i got is a coupon for 30€ after a long back and forth where they stated the controller is no longer under warranty but will give me a coupon, and to be honest i don't feel like buying another DJI product, so the coupon is worthless to me. But most importantly if DJI as a company reads the amount of complaints that the software update bricks controllers it should take serious steps to replacing the controllers and take the loss  on the chin instead of acting like they don't know what's going on !! it's insane how they brush this off ! a very disappointed customer and owner of several DJi products but will no longer buy DJi products unless Dji admits this serious company error.

Entonces debemos tener mucho cuidado a quienes volamos en ciudad ya que esto que nos cunetas es muy preligroso para los equipos, más si no contamos con un seguro local.

Same issue here. (New, bought 23rd Jan 2024) RC2 controller won’t turn on (fully). Is fully charged and initially turns on (startup of the fans can be heard) then does not continue to turn on/remains on a black screen.
Only way of turning if off then is the hard-stop (15sec hold).
Please advice.

(Mini 4 pro flymore combo)

Thank you very much. Can you please try updating the firmware or refreshing it if it already has the latest firmware? You can update it by downloading the DJI Assistant 2 to your computer and then connecting the remote to your computer. You can refer to this guide; https://support.dji.com/help/con ... ;paperDocType=paper.
If the issue persists, I'm afraid you need to send the drone back to DJI for further checking. You can submit a repair request here (https://www.dji.com/global/support). The warranty can be applied depending on the assessment's outcome, including your unit's warranty period. Thank you for your patience.

Just had my second controller die mid flight. Luckily last one died before I started flying. This time took off in a low lieing area with no satelites. moved it 10-20 meters away and froze. had two wait for the bettery to die when it landed itself into a tree.

WTF is going on. There is obviously and issue with these remotes. changing charging cables is not the issue. The controllers are.

Am I expected to buy a new remote every 6 months. Plus an extra one, as if I'm on a job, I now feel I need a second one as back up.

Any idea what we can do to prevent it from dying, again.
