When the new mini 3 Pro was released, I ordered it and the new DJI RC, which has the DJI Fly App pre-installed and a built-in 5.5-inch HD display. When it arrived in early June I got it set up relatively quickly and at least the controller was bound with the drone. 28 days later the new RC died suddenly of unknown causes. I contacted dji and they replaced it. But of course when it arrived, I had to bind it with my mini 3. I tried again and again and finally (I am honestly not sure why or how) they bound and all was well. Last week, while ascending in the midst of some trees, I backed the drone into an overhanging branch and it crashed on the front left arm. It would not fold up without an awful grinding sound and once folded, it was not able to be unfolded. I contacted DJI and they immediately sent a new drone which arrived this afternoon. Binding it to the RC was relatively easy, but I cannot fly it until it is ACTIVATED, and try as I might I cannot get it to do that.
I am told that I must update FlySafe and when I click the screen to do that, I get a Network connection required notation.. So I hook it up to my phone, which is on line as I speak, When I do that, I am told that I must link the RC and the drone. There is only one connection point on the RC and one on the drone. So I unplug the phone from the RC and insert the cable into the drone. No dice. the RC still says it needs a network connection and the drone just automatically shut down because it was getting too hot.
If I skip the foregoing I can get to the Activate button. It takes me to another screen where I have to click "Agree" to the terms of use and device hardware info. I click Agree and I am told to check network connection and try again.
The chief problem is that it insists that there is no internet connection. I am writing this on my laptop at my desk. The router and internet connection is on a nearby shelf. The laptop connection is wireless. My phone is sitting beside my laptop. It has a wireless internet conection. Try as I might, I cannot get the RC to connect with the internet. Suggestions?
