[QUOTE="Pearson, post: 122890, member: 15178"] Like many of you, my Spark remote stopped taking a charge, so I haven't flown it in several months. Looking online, most replacements were $200 and up. Ouch! But then I found an OEM on eBay for $100 to my door, and bought it. I linked the remote to my Spark yesterday and upon trying to take off, I get sensor errors as follows: Downward Vision Sensor Error (40003) Downward Infrared Sensor Error (40003) I put the aircraft in Beginner Mode so ignore that message ([COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]sorry about the pic, just lots of reflection[/COLOR]) I've been troubleshooting, but I know I've also had a few crashes. A few weeks ago I flew with just my phone, no remote, and the plane wouldn't land properly, was bouncing up/down. I didn't see these warning messages though. After a short flight and a few bouncy landings, I packed it up. 2 questions: 1. Any chance this is a software bug? 2. Is it worth sending in the plane to be repaired to a US drone repair shop? I've reset the drone, reinstalled the software, checked for updates, cleaned the sensors. I suspect it's a component failure and though I really want the new Mini2, $600 is a little painful. I hate to toss her in the garbage as she's still otherwise in very good shape. I just think her brain is fried. o_O Thoughts, ideas, suggestions?
