We updated our firmware using the PC last night and initially, everything worked fine. Today, we are unable to get the Ronin to respond to pan and tilt movement. Although we are able to connect to the device using both the IOS app and the PC program, we can't make any changes AND the test buttons no longer cause the motors to move. It seems as though the motors have simply stopped working.
Battery is fully charged.
The PC program shows zero (0) for all of the Live Data power readings on the general page. The Pan Tilt and Roll angles are updating in real time.

HELP! We had planned on using the Ronin on a job today and it simply failed us.

We were able to get things almost back to normal by running an older version (PC Version 1.8) of the software and overwriting the firmware back to version 2.3.
This allowed us to revert to default settings and now we show real-time power settings above 0.
We are not using the unit with the remote and it is still not totally responsive as before to both the PC Application and the IOS app.

PC Application does cause the motors to move when we click the test button, but the IOS app not longer works this way.

We would love to try version 1.9 to see if these issues are corrected.

Have similar problem. DJI Ronin unresponsive when powered on. Motor Kill switch is always on when I view with Gimbal APP, iOS or Android. Motors are not engaged and I cannot Calibrate System since it detects Motor Kill on even when I switch it off. Have had numerous issues with the Ronin and has embarrassed me several times. I am far away from the U.S. to be able to have it repaired. I want to exhaust every possible avenue to solve before I give up. I have reset settings on all platforms still no way forward. Is it possible to downgrade firmware. GCU is currently is 1.0 and IMU is 3.1.

Please anyone help if you can.

Yes, I did both updates, verified that they were listed under the Assistant app, and clicked default.

I also get "not intelligent DJI battery" in the App as well. Still no motor power.

Please check if you've plugged in the battery firmly, the battery need to be fully connected.
