I found this now month old video and it clearly shows the exact same issue my brand new Inspire now has...
Came with v16 code(everything worked)... the required update to v17 did not go well...
End result is TX has new code (success) and the Quad does not (fail) as video shows...
Because of the mismatch... Relinking process also does not work now ...
(red button push/hold = no response during relink process in app)
I can't even put it in transport mode to box it up...
And yes... I tried every trick I found via Google searches internet wide... no change...
From looking around... it seems this EXACT issue has effected many other birds...
I have found in various forums at least 20 other examples of what sounds like THIS issue...
Of course DJI says RMA it back... I'm thinking on that idea now...
My "gut" tells me this is firmware v17 mismatch with a later built hardware module in the bird...
Since everything was working before with v16...and the unit is not bricked (it will still accept attempts to flash)
Heck... the gimbal is still stabilizing if I pick unit up and move it around if booted no card...
It boots and goes thru it's normal dance... BUT the version mismatch between TX an RX has cut comm...
My "gut" says a firmware update tweaked to work with early and late build hardware is all that's needed...
I can see me sending it off RMA and updated code being released next day...
My units serial number is W13DCA230202xx
Seeking comments such as...
A) yep, mine too... serial number xxxx... (if you know)
B) I heard root issue is/was X and DJI is doing Y on all RMA birds to fix THIS issue...
C) your opinions of root issue... based on the log file error listings shown in the video...
The pattern I am kinda seeing before posting this...
...is it seems to be units bought since (my est) Mid Feb (later builds)
I have yet to hear of an early build unit having this EXACT issue....
I look forward to your comments on the video (it's not mine) and my questions aimed to narrow the discussion......
