Hi All,
I’m new to this site and I’ve just bought my first drone! A Mavic Mini.
But I’m experiencing a strange problem trying to charge the controller.
Bear in mind it’s not been charged for about 2 months.
When I plug the controller in to charge I get all the LED’s lighting up one at a time. It will do this three times before all the LED’s stay lite up. Then it will repeat the sequence. I’ve let it go on like this for two days.
Then when I unplug it from the charger, nothing! No power at all.
When its plugged back into the charger I can press the on/off button and it turns on and beeps for a while then I turn it off.
Is there some sort of mode that the controller has switched to since the battery was left uncharged for two months or do I need to replace the battery? Anyone else experienced this?
Cheer!
 
Hi iittii Welcome to Mavic Pilots.
I don’t Imagen it will be because it wasn't charged for 2 months, a new one it could sit on a shop shelf for a lot longer than that.
Did you press once then press & hold the power button ?

Yes you are right about the storage.
I did press once and then press and hold but it appears dead.
I think I might need to replace the batteries. Or open it up and see if there’s any loose connections.
