New member, wasn't sure what forum to post to. I will try chop and paste. The problem starts with the drone, switch on flashes red a few times then it justs continues searching. I have to disconnect battery to power it of. It's really frustrating. But thanks for the suggestions..Hi,try this,in your phone turn on Airplane Mode(no wifi/cell signal,make sure other devices{phones/tablets} you used to connect to bebop are off ),turn on bebop2,wait 30 seconds,turn on skycontroller 2,wait 30 second and connect phone to skycontroller
Oops,this should be in bebop 2 forum
Thanks mate. Appreciated.I think moderator will move this topic to Bebop 2 forum so keep posting here
Thanks for this, Mike. Unfortunately, when I turn the drone on the red light flashes then goes out and will not return to a steady red. Frustrating the hell out of me.You could try a factory reset of the drone. It takes awhile. Here is a video describing it.
Can you post short video of what is happening when you press power button
Cheers, Mike. But once it is reset, shouldn't the red light change from flashing to a steady red? I will try and connect it with controller and phone again. I really appreciate your input.?So are you saying that the drone just sits there with the light flashing? The light will stay in a flashing state if the drone is not connected to a controller or phone. The light goes steady on once connected.
The factory reset will still work with a flashing light, it just means it is not connected.

Hi Mike, sorry for the length of time its taken to get back to this. But everything that has been suggested does not work. I have been conversing with the parot help centre but that has been a complete waste of time. Because my drone is just out of warranty. They have basically just washed their hands of it.The light will go steady red once it is connected to the skycontroller or your mobile device.

Thanks for the info. Just so frustrating, almost threw it all in thebin.Sounds like the drone failed an update. Or if it had a ding previously the board finally broke an internal trace. If it does not go solid bright red(BB) blue (BB2P) + constant fan spin after start up, than the drone has an internal problem that is not allowing it to completely boot. In this state, resetting it by the power button will only let it boot to the same place. If it is a (Firmware) issue, you can try an Update via the USB port. If it can not be flashed from there, than it can be done via UART and an interface to force a fresh firmware.
