Hi all,can someone guide me that where can I get the USB module for my phantom 3 pro remote,the phone gets disconnected and then reconnects by a slight wiggle at USB side of the remote.My phantom is out of warranty so I have to fix it myself.I'm from india so international shipping would be cool

I don't think you can get a standard replacement part for this, but they do make an upgraded module with HDMI which replaces the old part.  Buy direct from DJI or eBay etc.  Plenty of videos on YouTube showing how to swap them over.  Be careful handling the ribbon cables inside, but it is relatively straightforward to do yourself.

Or just buy a new RC as those are plentiful and easy to find.

More money, but no tinkering... ;-)

It would be best to either go through a dealer for the standard USB module or get the HDMI output module, which has a USB connection as well. Either should be easily acquired from an authorized dealer or online.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/322414405489


45 bucks

Good to hear you're going in the right direction. Let us know if you run into anything else.

I'm getting it for around 82$ here in India,guess I'll stick to eBay,33$ price + 12$ shipping is still saving me 37$ and since it's below 50$ so no customs for me

Here's a pic of the circuit board which was inside the controller,the one I have ordered looks slightly different,what are your thoughts ?

Hi all,I got the USB circuit in the mail today,I have installed it but the problem now I'm facing is that the remote is only charging the phone,the DJI app is not detecting it and shows disconnected in the status bar,maybe it is missing the firmware ? I tried updating the remote via the USB stick method but still no luck,what should I do ?

Hi

Did you ever got this problem solved?

I've got same problem

I think you have to do everything in the right sequence.

1)  Make sure RC and mobile device are not connected.

2)  Start RC and mobile device.  Start AC

3)  Wait while mobile device boots up.

4)  After it boots up, log in or swipe or do whatever you normally do to bring up the front page.

5)  Plug in RC to mobile device via the usb.

6)  You should get a pop up with options

Good luck

Yes, I ordered a new usb circuit board from Ebay, turned out my controller didn't support it as it was a 1st generation controller, I cant recall the model number though. The newer USB circuits work on second gen controllers only so I sold the controller and drone and bought another P3 since it is hard to get spare parts in my country.To be on a safer side, you  can upgrade to a HDMI circuit board or buy a used controller and pair it with your P3.I should have bought the HDMI module from Ebay but I made the mistake thinking that the  USB controller would be compatible with both of generations of the remote controller.

For reference, this is a pic of the first gen USB circuit, if you had the same in your controller then the only option you have is to upgrade to a HDMI module or get another controller.
