Mini 3 Proc RC Not Charging Completely

[IronSky1]

Just received my 3 Pro a couple days ago and found that the RC will not charge completely. Indicator goes to 3 dots and stays there.
Has anyone seen this and/or solution.

What power supply are you using?
Consider getting a 65W power supply.

Run it one or 2 times then charge...I use a 24W charger (from a Smart Controller) and it charges fine in an hour or so

Something like this.

I personally own this one and I am super happy with it.

I've read that you need to activate your drone or account and then it will charge completely

That is true.

Looks like it was a firmware issue once I updated charges fine.

No I've never seen that.. get in touch with dji and find out.. when you power it up and pull down from the top right corner to access the menu how much battery is it showing?

Wow when I first saw the post there wasn't any comments at the time. Sorry

Activation wins again.

Same issue. Will try and activate.

Not had this, charges just fine, especially with a 65 W brick.
Have to add, it really lasts (had about 8 - 10 flights each about 25 min) and was still at 2 lights. The old SC needed more power (but certainly had a brighter display).

Draw your finger down from the top on the new DJI RC, and change your brightness level.

What, did DJI hire all the out of work Tamagotchi engineers after that went belly-up or something?

Are we going to have to feed and play with the remote to keep it working?

Yeah, I know, you have to do it manually as there is no ambient sensor unlike on today's smartphones.
Still the old SC was brighter with 1,000 nits and had a special mode to improve it in sunlight.

Not much difference between 700nits and 1000nits... Diminishing returns...

Maybe not by the figures but if you have the old SC you would certainly recognise the difference.
I have tinted glasses and with the new RC it is harder to see compared to the SC.

If I had the old SC I would question my sanity!

Point is, if it's so bright that you can't see the screen with 700nits, you probably won't see it clearly with 1000nits. That and all the other factors that go into the readability of a screen other than just nits.

That's the point, you tell me something I personally know but you have no experience with ... but ok, go by the figures.
