I know most people have moved on past the X-Star, but right now it's my only bird, and I have real problems. Bought a new?? battery from an eBay seller (Yes- I should have known better) and tried to get it to work, won't work or charge. DO NOT know if this caused the problem - it was probably me.
I wanted to make sure everything was still OK, so I put in a known good battery and the bird came up and connected. My thought process was that maybe the new battery needed a firmware update. I noticed the .bin file was missing from the sd card so I went to the support site and downloaded the .bin file to the sd card. When I powered up the bird it started updating the firmware - much to my surprise. The controller was up-to-date, it loaded an update to the gimbal and stopped. Now the bird powers up and flashes for a few seconds and then all four lights go out. It won't connect to the controller and there is no video link. Looks like the firmware didn't finish loading and the bird doesn't know what to do.
I use the bird often and I'm in serious need of some guidance. Have no problem providing my phone number to whoever wants to help, I try to be self-sufficient, but I don't know what to do next. I do hope the bird isn't bricked, it's been a decent and reliable drone thus far. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Many thanks, Jim
