Hi. Not sure what the problem is here but i'm getting a solid red light when I switch on my Phantom 2. The 2 back light stay red, when I try to fly they flash for a few seconds. It's goes full Red only when I switch on the remote
If anyone has a fix for this please let me know. I tried the PT2 and the RC assistant, both don't say or do anything that helps

What Phantom model?
Which Flight Mode. Phantom or Naza-M?
You do switch the remote controller ON before the Phantom, correct?

The DJI manual states "When <solid red> appears, please hover the aircraft until it disappears, so as to have better flight"

Does your phantom's moters start and can it hover? If not, give it a try.

I just tested, I'm not getting any flashes anymore. Just solid red coulour lights on the back. Flashes yellow when i switch off the Phantom remote, then solid Red when i switch on the remote.

First check the cable that connects to the compass, it's the small square sensor that is attached to one of the skids.

Where did the cable connect to?  the GPS module or the main board?  (can't remember if it's the Phantom 2 or the Vision that connects the compass to the GPS module)

No I meant I can't remember where the Phantom 2 compass module connects to, the GPS module or the Main board ( you said you opened the Phantom ).
The compass module is available as spare part ,  you can also get the newer "anti-static" compass module and it's pretty easy to change out.
