Hi.  I could use some help or ideas on where to start with this problem.
Batteries are both charged full.
I've got 9 satellites listed on the GPS.
I calibrated the aircraft.
The firmware is up to date.
I set 'home'.
I get green lights on the top of the screen and on the aircraft.
The right toggle on controller is pushed to the top position.
The left toggle is in the middle position.

I put it away maybe a year ago after a successful flight.
Took it out yesterday, charged the batteries and set it up as shown above.
Pulled down and in on both sticks and all 4 motors started.
Pushed up to lift aircraft and it lifted as if all 4 motors were not all lifting the same and it lifted a foot and toppled over onto the grass.
I tried again, recalibrated and again tried to lift and it did the same thing.
I looked at the warnings screen and found the following:
Aircraft is in attitude mode.

I did see that warning flash in yellow/orange letters but then it disapeared and the green top middle lit up when I tried to fly.

Any ideas?
I know it's 10 years old but I've never once crashed it.  It looks like new and has always flown perfectly.

Thanks.

Hi
What position is the right hand toggle switch (S1) set at. It has 3 positions.

1. Switch in top position = P mode (using sats)
2. Switch in middle position = A mode ( ATTI not using sats)
3. Switch in bottom position = F mode (using sats but Intelligent flight modes)

Better to post flightlog.

If you do not know how to find your flight log go to this link for instructions

Then share the link to the uploaded log here on the Forum.

Thanks for the response.
The right hand toggle switch is in the top position - P Mode.

Here's the log

The red warning that says 'Motor is blocked' is when the aircraft flipped upside down on the grass and the motors could not spin.  The flight was over at the point (obviously).

Motor or ESC fault from the start, lot of warnings in the csv. file.

All messages after 30 secs were caused by AC being on its back.

I have added a link to Dropbox with an animation of the incident.

Sorry for your loss.

9 satellites is too few. At least 15 sats are good.

Can you come up with something I can do to fix it?  Does it need a new motor or is it something more serious?
At this point, I'm not sure if the whole thing is junk or fixable.
Thanks.

Not really, can you rotate the individual motors freely by hand or are any off them stiffer than the others?

If any are stiff try blowing them with a can of compressed air, dust or other debris may cause them to be stiff.

If they all rotate freely then possible ESC problem but I don't really know.

Talk to DJI and ask if they can repair it (at your cost).

Other than that check Ebay for seller or just buy one of the newer ones which are streets ahead of the older models.

I would calibrate the IMU.

The P3S is not GLONASS, it has a straight GPS system - 9 satellites is awesome.

Hi, newman0912. Starting from the date of the service suspension (January 5, 2023), we will no longer provide support services for the Phantom 3 Standard. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We recommend that you upgrade to an alternative product of a new model so that you can enjoy our more recent, improved technologies, and then we can continue to provide you with efficient customer service. Hoping that other users can provide answers the the issues you mention. Thank you for your continuous support and understanding.
