DJI Falling out of Sky

the switch to start the Mini

Would you be referring to the auto takeoff icon that shows on the app screen?

no, the hardware button on top of the mini with the green leds.

The only thing I can find is that the switch to start the Mini is always hesitant. I have to push, hold, push again, until the mini jumps to life. Could that be the culprit ?

The start button on DJI products has always been the two push sequence you describe.
Push once, let go, then push again.

Thanks Starz, but what I observe is that the green leds light up very uneven. With my brothers mini 4 pro, they all lit up upon pressing. This double pressing I am very used to, as I went from Phantom 3 to Mavic 2 to now the Mini.

Thx for extended info. Don't have time to analyze that myself right now, but someone will preusmably ! Well that's a double shitburger and no chips isn't it ?! Sorry you are a drone down - do you know what the extent of the damage is yet, and do you think it will fly again ? If it did, would you trust it to all the time this remains unsolved ? :/

Double shitburger sans chips? Been to MacDonalds then?

May be a bad battery. If it’s fully charged, all four lights should be visible at the first press, then cycle through from one light to four after the second press and all four should stay on as the aircraft powers up. Video of what this is doing?

That sounds normal if you're referring to this.
