I had a similar situation a few months ago and it was a "Propulsion Error" so it was replaced under warranty. There was no obvious reason why it happened but all the motors stopped. It looked OK physically and all props were OK but clearly something inside went wrong and they did not repair it...

Update: to complete the story and help others maybe! I had to first send the flight data files to the Canadian repair facility then after a wait I was asked to make the same files accessible in China - done via Google Drive. After a couple of weeks of back and forth emails I received an...

My Caledon is in Ontario, north of Toronto. A bit more detail (I added a column to obtain time into flight - hence "about" mentioned) 30:01:3 (about 1:47.8) HOME.motor1EscmState Disconnect (all 4 motors?) 30.01.4, (about 1:47.9) Message NGPS signal weak. Positioning accuracy affected. Fly with...

I was looking at the verbose csv and noticed that at line 30.01.3 column A the motors all disconnected together THEN the messages started - does that make sense? The warnings came too late to react and since the motors were not running (assume disconnect means that) any inputs would have been...

UPDATE for those who might be interested in the procedure. I was contacted by the Canadian Repair shop and they asked for: Flight logs via google drive or Dropbox. (the whole FlightRecords folder) Initialled and signed form with the usual indemnifying wordings. Estimated date and time of crash...

Interesting. That refresh symbol does not appear on the ipad mini version but on the Android version it shows this:

Thanks for your analysis. I could try to start the motors manually , since I did not do so when it said Unable to takeoff. The fc.log.log on the mSD card was of course not changed when I did not try to start it - I did check. I shared some of the files that were created in the Zip. I looked...

Not sure which screen capture you are referring to PhiliusFoggg but this is all I can see via my profile. BTW I did have more flights before the 12th but they were not recorded for some reason.

OK, so having read your comment, I decided to first just try and connect the aircraft to see what would happen then if all seemed ok I would manually start and stop props. Batteries were showing fully charged. I tried activating the controller and the drone first with only a very slight...

Checked the link for retrieving DAT file and it seems to be on the mSD card only for the Mavic Mini - where I found the last one - the fc.log.log which I changed to fc.log.DAT - sorry I was confused with where I had to find it. I don't think DJI can delete that one but it does not seem to...

OK I will check the link information and follow your instructions. Funny how my aged brain works - I have been looking around the web on the topic and one site mentioned Max Power Load warning - I did see that as I peered at the screen at the time of the tumbling event. Everything happened so...

Having thought a little more about your comments BudWalker I checked my iPad and curiously there were a few files around 5:45 pm that I had noted before but even later around 10:40pm that same day that contained things like the attached. There are quite a few folders to choose from but I will...

Wow - I have worked fairly extensively with computers since the 1980s and I am still constantly amazed by how they are evolving and even more amazed by what those who are helping me here can show me. Thanks maelstrom for your comment - that sounds feasible based on my fleeting glimpse of it...

I remember now that after it happened I felt the battery may have failed, so I changed it but got the same ESC error so did not try taking off again. I just took a pic of the screen for the error number and it has been off since. Wouldit be worth firing it up just to see what it says?

It happened very quickly and I was watching the screen mainly in disbelief - my friend who was watching the MM realized it was coming down fast (he did not notice any spin but it was still high at that point) - he felt he was maybe under it so moved away quickly and a second later it "landed" on...
