Phantom never leaves warm up mode

[Matto822]

Would anyone have some advice on why my phantom will never leave warm up mode no matter how long I leave it on for?

What are you talking about?

Its blinks yellow the entire time and doesn't even allow me to turn on the motors. It just blinks yellow for hours

Is this your first time trying to get it started? If so, you need to do a CSC (Controlled Stick Command, something like that). You move both sticks down and out to start the motors. It's all in the manual.

Any help?

I'm well versed with dji this is my 3rd phantom and I have never see anything like it. I did the stick commands nothing.

Can you connect to the Assistant?
If so, can you see the FM changing when you cycle the S1 switch?
That means you should be able to do a Compass Calibration.
Disconnect from the Assistant and do the 360 degree dance.
Now connect to the Assistant and do an Advanced IMU Calibration.
This usually clears up the "stuck in warm-up mode" issue...
Let us know?

Strange.. I plugged it in a few times before with nothing and this time it recognized a firmware update completed it and everything seems to be working fine now. Thanks!
