Hi Folks,

Getting ready for the eclipse here in the us.  I have 3 batteries, 2 show full charge (4 lights).

However, my Phantom 4 will not power up with either battery.  It appears to power up as far as the lights go, but I hear no tones and the camera doesn't move as it usually does.

Any ideas how I can solve it?

Fast reply would be very much apprecitated.

Thanks,

Carl Stephenson

Correction, when I press the power button the battery, the indicator lights flash initially, but then the power button starts blinking and then the battery powers off.

Are you powering up correctly ? One short push followed immediately by another push and hold for about 2-4 seconds. Same sequence as the RC.

When you say "As far as the lights go" I assume that's the battery lights and not the Status LEDs on the rear arms ?
