Hi All,

I'm getting ESC error while powering on my aircraft. The issue came quite out of nowhere, I was flying the day before and nothing unusual happened, and then on the next day got ESC.

When powering on the aircraft all propellers do the regular small spin which could indicate that they are fine.

Any ideas where the problem can be?

I will send it for repair to DJI but it's quite unfortunate timing in the middle of my holidays so I will be losing quite a nice footage and maybe there is some way to get back into the air faster.

Thanks

Which Drone? and what error number does it give you.
 
That ESC module is almost always the Cause of Rain as its the Weakest Link on the Entire Board .

Gear to fly in the Rain, land on the water.

Be happy it didn’t fail while flying. I had an ESC failure flying inside a warehouse. The power setting just locked. It didn’t respond to any control input. Basically I had a fly away. Sometimes things just fail.
 
That's a connection error, If you never opened the Drone or had a crash, I would say you need a new IMU....You can try to reload the firmware BUT If the error just all the sudden appeared for no reason and its not intermittent, I think your ESC is Toast. Sorry...

Yeah, I reloaded the firmware, but it didn't help. The drone was used regularly and wasn't involved in any crash. Too bad it happened in the middle of my holiday, so some great footage will be lost. I hope that the ESC board replacement will make it work.

Thanks for your feedback!
