After less than 15 flights my USB PORT on my Phantom 3 Advanced just stopped working. Now the Phantom 3 can be flown as usual, but unable to stream any video to my phone from the Remote Controller. This seems to be a very common problem. I am trying to find out how many other people have had this problem and how did they get it fixed? DJI suggests that I might have to send my bird in for repair, but that is going to be timely and costly and something I do not think I should be charged for.

Yes, the USB port on the controller is on the loose side and can sometimes cause issues (at least for me too)

The best bet is to bite the bullet and send it in for repair and be done with it. You could also try your Dealer for repair.

I wonder if that's why one of my cables quit working on mine but it could be a faulty cable too.

I have found that switching to a different cable sometimes fixes this issue.

The cost of sending my bird to china is way beyond what I am prepared to pay for, these birds should have been recalled as it's a known problem. I now have an expensive ornament, this sucks.

Seen a few posts with same issue, really too bad for such a nice bit of kit!  I picked mine up used so no warranty/free repairs.  Should this happen I will try the HIMD upgrade, new USB port at the same time…99 bucks on Amazon with free 2 day shipping!  Good luck!

That would be my choice as well.  The 99 bucks buys you 2 usb ports,  an Hdmi port and a CAN bus port ( for future use,  according to DJI).  And it's easy to install.
