Important that you verify that you are using a verified charging cable and not a weenie data cable This link should give you insight into how the controller is disassembled and if it is within your skill set. I recall it was a pair of 18650 lithium cells. I was installing the antenna so I...

I have an Evo II, 1st gen so when it became apparent that the hard/firm/software changes would preclude compatibility between them, I quickly shopped online to grab what I could while they were still in stock or liquidated (Smart Controller, Livedeck etc) I may not have the latest model but...

The V2 controller is not backward compatible with the V1 drone. https://www.autelpilot.com/blogs/faq/autel-v1-vs-v2-vs-v3

I'm thinking you aren't likely to be the only one on the planet with this predicament. Web search your phone model + Starlink for compatibility issues.

I'm thinking insurance and liability... somewhat akin to an electrical or plumbing inspection ?

Post the full filename. Or, download again. Perhaps it simply become corrupted during the download

I've not tried this but merely scratching my brain: is there a factory reset button on the controller and if so, it may be the whack on the head the controller needs. I don't know how complex the controller-to-battery is designed and nowadays, it's not unheard of that battery use/monitoring...

the caveat which pops up in my head is to be certain that you are using a bona fide USB-C CHARGING cable vs a generic USB-C data cable

If I were in the USA I'd prefer to buy from same country source if I could. autelpilot.com is in China/HK. So for the potential servicing, warranty issues, tech support alone, this might be a deal breaker for me

I actually appreciated the challenge in opening but think about it like this: the tight rubber fitment is great in providing moisture resistance. Since I used the nice, nylon pry tool, it was a very simple fingernail pressure... and then slipping in the nylon pry tool. From that point on...

To make up for my failed reading comprehension above I sought to probe a little bit more. Photos are from my Evo 2, V1 (large screen) Smart Controller. It's still a daunting task but more from an availability perspective, not mechanical. Happy hunting locating a DT3S1P battery. I may need to...

p.s. not wishing to overlook the obvious but have you checked to see that you are using a certified charging cable and not just a data cable? I've made the error using the latter before with very poor charging results. Once I located a charging cable all has been well.

duh...my bad. it says so right on the title thread, too ! let me dig more to see if I've done anything with the Smart Controller.
