my controller just quit turning on. Disconnected the battery,  reassembled it and it's working again.

What caused this to happen? I really do not want to do that out in a field someday.

Thanks

Maybe you just had a loose connection, since what you did worked.

Hmmm strange that is happening with my P3-4K controller too.  I think I just pluged in the power plug into controller and it come back alive.  but Yes it shouldn't be doing what it's doing in first place.  regards Alex.

p.s. I have only had the drone a week, second hand . Still under warranty.

It seems to be a common problem I found the fix on youtube.  That was my first thought, I left the controller on and the battery was dead.  Plugging in the charger did nothing.

Sorry for the double post

We do not suggest to disassemble the RC as it may void the warranty. I would recommend you to send it in if this happened again: http://www.dji.com/support

Susan, it is a Phantom 3 4K. it's not under warranty any longer.  This seems to be a common problem does DJI no why this happens? I would hate for this to get in the way of a day set aside for flying.

Thanks for clarification. It is suspected as hardware issue. Flight safety is top priority, please consider my previous suggestion if this bothers you.
