Mavic 3 will not work

[EagleHead]

After 6 weeks of no flying I powered up my mavic 3, did the updates and now the quad will not fly. Power is on. Paired to controller but no response from stick inputs to spin up the blades.
Any ideas?

Any chance that it thinks it is in a no fly zone?

Try recalibrating the controllers joysticks etc..

you might want to post a video, as you there should be some message on the screen that you might be missing.

That is good advice, although don't know why they'd be out of calibration just by being idle. Good luck.

It's possible the update somehow got corrupt. I would file a ticket with DJI.

Just a quick video of the startup screen and lights on the drone with your stick movements to start up.

So you need a least 7 Sats to enable start up , or the drone will not start up .

I wonder if the batyeries wrnt inyo hybernation mode. If they did should I recharge them through the aircraft as I did when the aircraft was new? I recharged then on the charging block.

Ok.
7 sats.
I guess I don't remembering it taking so looong the last time I flew. I will try again and give it plenty of time.

I dont know if this video will help you , but notice how the motors will not start up based on GPS , Angle ect.

Discovered my issue.

When aircraft is unused for a long period of time ..
Weeks or a month...I discovered the batteries go into deep hybernation and need to be recharged through the aircraft not the charging block.

I still have no sats after 15 minutes inside my home, but I can still take off.

At least that is what I have experienced today.

Thank you for all of your responses.

Yes. No sats. Lifted of in my living room. Flew a few minutes and set down. I was surprised. I get the warming of alt limits.

Of course you can startup without sats.
You ccn fly inside a warehouse without any sats.
