When flying, and this happens regularly now, the RC actually goes dark, turns off and when rebooted won't reconnect so the DJI Mini Pro 4 flys to home and lands. I've used DJI Assistant to reinstall latest code on the RC, but no luck, same problem. Is there a way to reset, reinstall software in the drone itself? I think that may be where the problem lies.
 
Oh, that does not sound good. I wouldn’t think it was the drone, I’d think it was the controller battery or something deeper inside it. Is it showing a good amount of charge level when you’re able to restart it? OK what about if you gently shake the controller, does it stay on? If not, perhaps there is a possibility it has a bad solder point somewhere inside it. Just thinking maybe the battery has a loose connection or something. It is relatively easy to open up and replace the battery on some of the older controllers like for the Mavic series, but I’m not sure about yours.
