I was out flying the other day filming from friends and I got a little too close to a sign post. I clipped one of the props on it, it snapped off and the Inspire 1 went down upside down, the battery popped out and everything else seemed fine.
Once I picked it back up, replaced the prop and put the battery back in I couldn't start flying again. It powered up, camera gimble set itself, everything seemed like it was fine, but when try to take off I can an "ESC error, contact DJI support if this continues" type message. I power cycled it a few times and it pretty much does the same thing every time. I also noticed, now the lights on the landing gear on the right side light up yellow, on the left side they don't light up at all.
I checked the IMU, it said it was fine and didn't need calibration, but I did one anyway, that seemed to go fine as well, but it didn't resolve the ESC error.
In addition to that... in the DJI Go app on my iPhone the status bar bounces/flashed very quickly between "ready to fly" and "compass needs calibration", but the compass calibration fails. I am indoors now trying the compass calibration so there surely might be interference there, I'll that again outside... but I've just never seen that before.
So any idea on the yellow lights vs. no lights? Are ESCs bad on one side? Should I be replacing some motors and ESCs? Is there any type of self test/reset?
Basically, I'd love to avoide having to send in the drone and not have it for the next 2 months if I can do these repairs myself.
