Hello all,
I have a Mavic 2 pro that will not start up. It's been about 3 months since last flight. I charged all my batteries and RC. App starts good, everything connects. I calibrated the drone and RC, all passed and app shows "OK TO FLY (GPS)". Press both sticks down into the lower position several times but motors do not start at all, no error or beeps. I've flown this drone several times and stumped with this issue. The gamble operates by the controller but just will not start. Can anyone help?

Check your settings, that part could be disable at times and with software upgrade.  Did you try to swipe for auto take off?

There hasn’t been an update since last flight. I tried the swipe, but same issue. The settings are in stick mode.

Hi, thank you for reaching out and we're sorry for the trouble. Can you please try to go on an open field and try to perform the auto take off using the application to see if the problem persists? Also, can you please send us a video showing the issue for us to further isolate the problem? Please keep us posted. Thank you!

Had that happen once with my mini and come to find out my camera was pointing down. Raised the camera and was able to start the props.

Are you in a no fly zone? NFZ limit was displaying on controller.
Battery temp seems a bit high 48degs, manual recomends between 30 and 40 degs for flying.

I have flown it here before, it is a limited fly zone, but not restricted as far as I know. Unless something has changed. Would the drone not start the propellers in that case. Also, would it show me a warning on the app screen? As far as the temp, it was sitting out in the yard and not running. Yhe cooling fans were on.

According to the manual it says NFZ limit displayed on the controller means aircraft is in a no fly zone. Check your no fly zone in map on app.

I just spoke with tech support, the drone does start up with auto take off. I'm going to take the drone out of my limited altitude zone and retry. I'll update later today.
