"Firmware is out-of-date" even though it isn't. Cannot take off

(I posted this problem on the Mini 4 Pro forum, but nobody there could come up with an answer, so I'm trying here. I don't normally double post, but I'm getting a bit desperate.)

I got a Mini 4 Pro recently, and everything went OK with the setup, but when I tried to start the motors, nothing happened, and I got the message 'firmware out of date'. I tried to update via the RC2 controller, but it kept saying 'not connected to server'. So I downloaded Assistant 2 to my laptop and I updated both aircraft and controller firmware that way. The controller now says aircraft firmware is 01.00.0800 and controller firmware is 05.00.0300. But I still get 'firmware out of date', and aircraft still won't start. I even tried a FlySafe data upgrade, but after trying unsuccessfully to get to the server a few dozen times, it finally said it's up to date. Someone mentioned updating the batteries but there seemed to be no way to do this on Assistant 2 and I can't see a way on the controller.

I spent over an hour on online chat with someone from DJI with no luck, but to be frank, he didn't seem to know that much. He wound up suggesting I send it in for repair.

So, can anyone suggest anything I haven't tried yet? Thanks.
