Followed the very simple instructions and went to update the iOSD mini.  Had the antenna on when I tried to power it on.  Beeped once and shut off.  Battery if fully charged, but Phantom will not power on.  Makes a very small "beep" and battery shuts off.  I've unplugged the IOSD mini and still won't power up. Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c7-wR6sjnA

Are you getting any lights on the iOSD mini LED indicator?

Does the Phantom start up when you restore it to the original stock configuration?  (i.e., disconnect the CAN-Bus cable, and any other accessories)

Hello tcoviello, can the battery be turned on separately?

It's working now, but I think it had something to do with this... I believe I have ruined my 4 motors after installing an FPV system.  The FPV works fine, but when reinstalling the 4 screws for each motor, I used ones that were too long not realizing there was no "stop" for them and they would continue to lodge into the rotors. I figured this out after reading online that this has happened to many people.

Anyway, the motors barely turn and a couple not at all, so I'm assuming they are shot?

Yeah, the motors burned themselves. They're trashed now.
