When was the last time you charged the battery to when you actually flew with it?

I know how that feels...
http://forum.dji.com/thread-15576-1-1.html
From what I Have seen, DJI needs a unit before they will replace with another. I believe they give a discount to buy a new one in your case (unless they have changed there policy) I am sorry that has happened to you.

Very sorry for your loss, I hope you hear from DJI soon. Can you provide us with more details about your battery condition and rate of charge? Can you post the screen shot of the App or post the flight log from your App?

Maybe we can see something from this information

Based on the other comment you made, that everything was perfect the night before your updated the Inspire.....
It sounds like you did not calibrate the compass and IMU after your firmware update?

Sorry man that's a bummer

I already went through that also i swear i"m telling you i 100% sure that everything was running perfectly until the accident happen and i"m sure that there was an electric failure and shit happens and i happened that it's happened to me...i"m very very angry at Dji now and i will not stop until they solve the problem because they don"t have idea how hard it was for me to buy it and they are using my money to fund probably a future product...

the failure was from Dji not me...and this is a fact i cannot play me self for it...

The battery was 100% because it showed 4 led lights in the battery?  Did you charge it to 100% the night before?  I mention this because your battery may show 100% because of the LED lights, but may have gone into an auto discharge mode which can seem misleading.  So if. You charged your battery 10 days ago, it will show the battery is 100% by clicking on the battery button.  However in reality, it's already discharged itself.

thats the problen with the reduced 32 ---> 8 channels

which RC firmware did you use? Did you "upgrade" to firmware 1.04.30 ?? like DJI GO may have asked you to do?

There are many problems reported with this firmware including reduced RC power output however I did of course not install this firmware so I only know what others tell.

I was on hold with DJI service for a very very long time as well. They may have only one person working at a time. I really don't know. What I do know is that they will eventually answer. As far as what happened to your Inspire, I feel for you. My Inspire recently crashed itself ( http://forum.dji.com/thread-34400-1-1.html ) into the ground without warning. I did everything properly before take off and while in flight. Lots of people will ask you, did you do this, did you do that, what was the torque of this and that, what firmware did you have, and so on. It may seem as if they are trying to make you look incompetent but in reality "most people here" are trying to help you find out what went wrong and need as much information as possible to determine what the issue is/was. As far as DJI customer service goes, I have heard great things about it as well as horror stories about it. I guess it's a coin flip for us all. With my Inspire issue, DJI told me to send it in. It has been a few days since I sent it to them and all I can do is wait now. I also purchased additional insurance for my Inspire, so if DJI won't take care of my Inspire my insurance has assured me they will. I really hope all works out for you and you get back to flying again soon. I myself can't wait to get back into the sky.
