i personally would return it to the seller they have to cover it for 12 months from purchase
hopefully you got it from amazon they are good regarding returns etc i wouldn't take a chance trying to operate it
its crap when this happens....have you tried another phone? are you on 2.4ghz or 5.8?
in uk 2.4 ghz works best ....i see your in the usa...i would try another phone first that is if you can. cheers let me know how you get on.
remember it the responsibility of the seller for the first 12 months hopefully you never purchased direct from parrot.....that's why i always buy with amazon ....
