It's been my experience that the USB/HDMI boards rarely encounter a hardware (parts failure) issue. What most often happens is the firmware in the poorly-sourced NAND chips (the physical IC's on the board) that hold the processing firmware for the Intel DaVinci chip (which is responsible for...

FYI, for future reference, the USB/HDMI boards are easy to fix (in 95%+ of cases), as the same firmware that runs on the USB/HDMI boards in the remotes for the Phantom 3, also works to reflash the boards from the GL658x controllers. I've successfully repaired many of them (from the A, B and C...

Hi Corey. You can contact me at either email address (Home or Work). Hope you had/are having a great weekend! -Mike

Hi Corey. Did you get my email, yesterday? THANKS!

For those who are having the 'No Image Transmission Signal', with an X5 (haven't tested on X5S or X5R), I have put together a 'tutorial' on how to fix this issue, IF the problem stems from corrupt firmware for the DaVinci '368 chipset on the Live View Encoder Board. This is the problem in about...

Hi Corey. Reaching out per our conversation, regarding several of your remaining items! -Mike

For those of you with the 'no video transmission signal' problem with an X5 camera (haven't tested with X5R or X5S, but the 'process' will likely work for them, as well), that occurred after the camera was sitting unpowered for awhile (months), or following a firmware update that didn't go well...

Hi Corey! Do you still have the almost new drone that won’t come out of travel mode (the one without the bent screw?) if so, I’m interested! Thanks! -Mke

Hi Tim, What would you want for all sets? You can email me at the sky_hawk address. THX! -Mike

Hi Tim. Glad you made it back! My email address is [email protected] (Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, NC). If you can take some photos of the rig and send them to that address, that would be GREAT! I've already started working with someone on some of the parts, when I didn't get a reply, but...

Good evening, Tim. If you’ve sold the I1, I certainly understand. Just do me the favor of letting me know, so I dont keep grinding away at finding a way to get it here. My nephew (DelRay) is currently in Sweden for a month on business, so that option won’t work. I’m leaning toward having it...

Still there??

Hi Tim. Still trying to work out a delivery plan for this. Is there a way to PM folks on the forum? Eventually, we'll need to exchange non-public information. THANKS!

You should pursue the flying lessons. As you can see from my profile, I'm 65, so age (if you're in good health) isn't really an issue. I'm sure you'd enjoy it!

Hi Tim! Thanks for the delivery offer! I am good with PayPal G&S (not too keen on F&F, since there's no protection.) I trust your description of the aircraft and accessories. My family member won't have a clue about the I1. I'll need to see if he's in-country next week, but that seems to be...
