Can't get controller to connect with drone.

[45er]

I posted this in the "Mavic Pro Platinum Help" subforum, but I'm not sure how often this forum gets visited, so I'm posting here as well. Hope this is permissible.

A month or so ago I lost my MP Platinum in an accident. Since I could not get DJI to sell me a drone only, I started a search for another one. I ended up buying a Platinum that was brand new as part of an overall package. Wanting to use my own controller, I just put this brand new drone together, installed a charged battery and commenced to try to get everything going again (calibrations, status checks, etc.) I turned on drone and controller (cabled to my IPad) and started the DJI app. The yellow light on the back of the drone and the controller says "connecting" with an animated icon blinking in the top right corner of the controller window which appears to look like the controller is sending a signal trying to establish connection with the drone. This has gone on for 5+ minutes without a connection. Is this enough time? I thought that any working controller could establish connection with another drone for which it is designed pretty quickly. Maybe not?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

I havent tryed to pair those before, but i believe the pairing system on that Mavic is similar to the Mavic 2.
