I have a inspire 1

I bought a used inspire 1 drone that needed repaired. The arms were broken.

I replaced the arms.
When I got it back together i charged the radio and drone batteries.

When I started it up the drone did connect to the radio. I tried to start the motor's and they didn’t start. This is without the propellers.
Please help me.

Thank you,
Mike M

More information needed. Share the error messages that pop up on the screen.

A picture are with this post .

The line with all the numbers look at the dots.

Also I get this at top of my page where it says ok to fly.
No positioning ( atti ).

Also I get a green light on the tail of the drone.

Hope this helps.
Thank you,

Have you tried manual motor arm? Moving both sticks together?

Those should be lines. I don't know why you're only getting dots.

This means you have not acquired enough satellites for GPS lock. Your single photo looks like it was taken from inside a structure (you should screenshot your iPad instead of taking photos of it). It's hard to tell. Looks like you could be outside, but I can't tell. Your Inspire 1 will never acquire satellites from inside. You have to take it outside.

This directly conflicts with what you said in your previous sentence. Once you have acquired satellites, and ergo, GPS lock, the back LED blinks green. With no GPS lock it blinks yellow. You should take video.




Hope this helps.
Not much. You need to either take video or take more photos and/or screenshot a few of your iPad screens (never take photos of a screen on a device that has the ability to provide screenshots).

Sorry not getting back to you sooner. I had a gps and position sensor. I installed the position sensor and it did help with the error message I was getting.
I waiting for the gps module come next. It says on the screen it has a bad GPS.

Also it needs updated. I can not find any of the updates for the radio or drone.
Where do I find them and directions?
Thank you,

Good deal.

Firmware version 1.08.xx.xx is the sweet spot. If that's the version you have, DO NOT update.

Software-wise, Go App v3.1.1 is the best version. Don't update that, either.
