I tried to update from .700 to .800 ... Failed AND MY BATTERY IS BROKEN! !
It was perfectly ok, , had 90% and now only the middle green leds burn, and cannot shut off!
I have this drone only a month, made 2 test flights and updating updating in the hope that DJI Go 4 app wouldn't crash during the flights I made.
Here is the solution for the battery middle leds issue I found else on this forum.
It's from fans4bdce353, Beginner, United Kingdom:
"Thank you guys so much for your information, as I was worried about my drone with this problem as well. I have found another solution, & I believe it'll be the best one.
Just quickly how my problem happened, I somehow failed my first update through the app. Then, the battery had 2 LEDs Green flashed both around 13 seconds apart. I used my other two batteries from my combo package & they had no problem updating. So, I attempted to follow this forum article but no solution didn't work for me. It will always say "Battery must be 50%" everytime i tried to update even though it was prior to the failure. So this is my solution;
1) Please Download The DJI Assistant 2 application, which can be located in the Mavic Pro Download Section. Download your current computer manufacture.
2) Once you Log into the program, please connect your defective battery into your done (Please disconnect its Gimbal Protection & Propellers just in-case) & let it initialise.
3) When the drone is booted up, connect your controller to your computer via the USB that came with the Mavic. Then, turn it on (otherwise it'll just remain in a charging state).
4) Your computer will install its relevant drivers automatically (Leave it for 1 minute).
5) Then, you will get an option to select your drone. Please do so!
6) A list will come up with all current Firmware releases from DJI, select the most up-to-date firmware & click "refresh".
7) Let the program do it's business downloading & installing. At the very end your drone will reboot along with your controller. Please don't worry if you lose connection to the program it'll return by itself!
And that was me fixed, I really hope this helps you guys! And, from now on i'll be using the computer software instead of my app! Happy flying!"
That saved my day and battery!
I did charge the affected battery one hour before proceeding with the above procedure. But first I did the battery in a lipobag : ) The reason the firmware update got stuck at 69% updating was that it just discharged to 49%. Really, when the battery gets below 50% charge, it stops updating and you are left with a faulty battery.
I recommend 2 things:
1. Use PC with wired internet and DJI Assistant 2 software. Works much better and faster.
2. Use 100% charged batteries. That should be pointed out loudly (also by DJI) when updating! |
