Satellites

You could provide more information about your location.
How many satellites are available overhead in your area based on phone data?
Are you in a building?
What can you describe about your location?
Is there anything over head which might interfere with satellite reception?

I’ve had my new drone up once and linked to 17 says. Now none from the same outdoor location-open fields, no obstacles

At the same time and at the same location have you checked a phone app to verify satellite count?

There will always be plenty of sats in your sky.
If you are out in the open and getting no sats, that suggests a problem with your GPS receiver.
If switching off and on again makes no difference, the GPS receiver is probably disconnected or broken and you'll need a tech to look at it..

Unfortunately, the SE's GPS is sensor is less sophisticated than on my Mini 2, your Drone will only pick us the satellites from the United Sates GPS and the Russian GLONASS systems, so it you use the UAV Forecast App to find the number of satellites, you will need to disable the European Galileo and the Chinese Beidou satellites…
