A friend of mine recently had a hard crash with his phantom 3 advanced, it was up quite high and suddenly cut out he tells me.
The damadge is substantial:
- Broken camera gimbal (wire and body snapped off - camera and motors ok!)
- bent frame.... as far as i can tell not going to have a negative effect, just asthetical
- (the scary one) ---> the battery, the casing has cracked and cover is peeling further down (lucky it didn't explode)
- further damadge yet to be found but expected
He has given it to me to fix as I know more about multirotors than him. However I have never dealt with a phantom or anything of the sorts because I prefere the custom built kind.
My current problem is that I cannot link the rc to the drone. The rc beeps, but when i press the link button nothing happens? No red light, green, yellow or blue.
I have tried holding it for longer, repeated pressing and multiple reboots.
Could it be down to the broken circuit from the missing camera?
I am reluctant to start purchasing componetnts for the rest of it if it cannot even start!!!
Thanks for any help/guidance Alex.
