Flew my Meteor75 Pro O4 a little bit too close to the sun (too much wind).

It got flung straight into the ground with not enough power to pull out of it.

Found the camera/canopy/vtx in my neighbours backyard but the frame/motors/fc was nowhere to be found.

Turns out I didn't disarm as fast as I thought and it flew up, got carried by the wind overtop another row of houses and got dumped upside down ~30cm away from the edge of a pond. 🤣

Found it after 20mins of searching after hearing it spin its ass off trying to level in Angle mode.

Turns out the impact sheared the screw stands clean off of the frame.

Everything else is intact and working thankfully so a new frame is on its way and my first drone repair will be in the books soon!

Maybe the connection came lose, the one that connects o4 to flight controller. Have a look if all cables inside are secure connected.

Sounds either a cable is loose or it's dropping below 5v and switches off.

Had a good look and the cable from the FC to the O4 was not fully seated on the FC side, between both pcb's.

Pushing it fully in, I knew that was the issue.

Works wonders afterwards!

THANK YOU SO MUCH <3

Not sure how to test if the voltage from the battery to the o4 is sufficient.

I think I read about something like a BEC but not sure how that even works.

If I can't figure it out, I might just return it and perhaps think about stepping away from DJI.

I can't even think about losing that much money after just a single crash if it turns out that the O4 is busted 😅

I'll have to figure out which cable that is but I'll try!

Can anyone help me with my O4 troubleshooting issue?

Seems that the troubleshooting area of this site is less known/visited so trying to get some attention/help to there!

Also adding to this:

When I connect the air unit via USB-C to my pc, the leds light up bright like normal.

It is also visible in DJI Assistant 2 and I can see logs up to yesterday evening when it stopped working.

Meaning that the power ons after that point have not created logs.

Today I powered it on via lipo and the VTX leds are barely lit.

It does not connect to my goggles and can not be put into pairing mode.

Any ideas?

The drone arms and flies like normal.

For now, my thoughts are that the VTX is overheating and turning off.

Perhaps I let it turned on (both via usb to pc as well as with lipo) without actually flying.

I do not have a desk fan for cooling it either.

Could this be the source of my issues?

Do you guys think O3 drones are still worth it now that O4 is out?

Since O3 drones are usually cheaper than O4.

Is O4 worth the premium over O3?

Just bought a used DJI Goggles 2 for €390 (newprice ~€600), bought the Meteor75 Pro O4, a 4-pack of Lava 550MaH batteries and the Vifly Whoopstor charger.

Have been on the fence about what HD system to buy but having a huge preference for image quality as well as running into the goggles for that price, I decided to go for DJI.

Who knows, perhaps I'll change to/add walksnail in the future but for now I'm going to finally start FPV flying!

Can't wait to join the community for real!
