So my controller is no longer connecting to the aircraft.  It never fully turns off. I will press the button twice and it will 'beep' while shutting down but after letting go the lights come back on.

Sometimes the lights dissapear but when I go to turn the controller back on they light up with one button press.

This occured after a firmware upgrade was interrupted.  Not happy I was ready to fly then DJI forces the upgrade and then I wasn't able to fly for the rest of the day since my controller bugged out.


I found a tutorial on YouTube to downgrade the firmware so hopefully this helps!

you press once then press and hold two seconds release it should shut down. have you tried to reinstall the firmware? sometimes it takes a few attempts.

Yeah it seems that once the controller bugged out I wasn't hearing any beeps while turning on. It just turned back on with one button press.

This fixed my issue and I made all of the necessary upgrades after downgrading firmware.

glad you got it figured out Brother happy flying
