Hey thank you for your prompt reply :blush: the thing is there isn’t any videos or photo to show as all that happens is the drone doesn’t power up :frowning: the headset and the controller charges and powers on and though the battery shows as charged with the drone when connected nothing happens.
I’ve tried connecting the drone to my computer and using the appropriate software but it’s not helped it doesn’t power up on my computer either so I’m wondering if there’s a power fault?

My son is really distressed as he sold his scooter to buy it. I was going to order some replacement batteries from yourself to give them a try but they are sold out but not sure if that will help? Thank you for trying to help us x

Hi.
Thank you for your email.
I am glad you have received the drone safely. As described before the issue we had was…
It would start but stop after a few seconds and refuse to do anything unless it was unplugged and plugged back in sometimes it would remain ok for the flight but the next time it was used it would start to do the same again where it would suddenly power off and need reconnection.

I don’t know how else to explain it other then when you have an autistic child who expects things to run smoothly and they don’t it is frustrating for them especially as it’s not expected with a new item so I decided it best to return it.

As it’s in new condition if it’s easier for you then please refund as a change of mind. Either way please can a refund be Processed as soon as possible as this behaviour with the unit worried my son so much he no longer wants to own one :sob: thank you.

We understand your frustration and would like to offer a resolution. Upon receiving the drone, I noticed that it was not in new condition as expected. Specifically, there were signs of prior use, including some grass debris on the frame.

Additionally, since you may of been experiencing difficulties in getting the drone to operate correctly. This could be caused by the pre-arm safety checks, where the drone does some internal software testing of its sensors and other parameters before activing the motors. The most common cause which might be related to the throttle not being at zero when arming is attempted, which means you will need to power cylce the drone to get it to work again.

Given these issues, I would like to discuss possible resolutions. I would appreciate it if you could consider a partial refund of 90%, due to the condition of the drone. Alternatively, we are happy to provide additional support to help me get the drone working when you get it back?

Kind Regards

Alex
