Click on your drone on the below list to jump into that part of the article.ĭJI Mavic Air/Mavic Air 2/Mavic Air 2S/ Mavic 2 Pro/ Mavic 2 zoom/ Mavic Mini/DJI Mini2/Spark won’t turn on. Next, we would talk about some troubleshooting for specific drones. Also, clean the drone’s battery connectors too. Use a brush and gently clean the battery connector ports and wipe the battery with a clean cloth. Take the battery out and look at the slots.The thick dust sitting on the contact would make a lack of power supply to the drone. Having dirty or dusty battery contact or connectors is one of them. Reason 4: The battery contact or connectors are dusty or dirtyĪs I mentioned before, battery-related issues are the main reason for this situation in many cases. If the battery is too cold, keep it inside your jacket for a few minutes to warm it to the proper temperature. If you are in a frigid area or winter season, use a heated lipo battery bag to store the battery.Actually, it happens when the temperature goes below 5° C, the battery will stop working entirely. Most of the time, some users who live in frigid areas and the winter season struggle with turning on the battery. Wait approximately 30 minutes to reach room temperature. If the battery is too hot, leave it somewhere safe with good airflow.If you just finished a flight or you left the battery or the drone in a closed warm area, the battery might have temporarily shut down. Usually, the drone battery functioning temperature range is between 41☏ – 104☏ (5☌ – 40☌). So when the battery gets too cold or hot, (which is not healthy for the battery) it would refuse to turn on. Those things can measure factors like temperature that affect the battery. Modern drone intelligent batteries have many sensors embedded inside them. Most of the time, you just have to plug the battery into the charger and leave it for a few hours to wake the battery from hibernation.When you left or store the battery for a long term and once the battery is discharged to a certain limit, the battery would go into hibernation and it won’t turn on and power the drone until you wake it from hibernation. Intelligent drone batteries have safety features to save the battery from being fully discharged. Reason 3: The battery has gone into hibernation mode So in order to recover the battery, you have to clear the PF flags of the battery management system. When the battery has gone below a certain limit or faces power failures, the BMS (Battery Management System) would raise PF flags and shuts down the battery. Most of the time, DJI drones won’t turn on because of this issue. Reason 2: Battery Management System (BMS) shutdown. If you have a DJI drone, press the power button once, then press again and hold it down for approximately 4 seconds.First, read the drone’s user manual and check whether you are doing it right. Because usually, they won’t turn on just by one press. Reason 1: Improper switching on.Īs I said before, If you are new to modern drones, It’s always ok to check whether you are doing this right. Also if you have a DJI drone, it’s worth checking whether you are turning on the drone properly. Usually, drone won’t turn on because of battery management system shutdowns, improper battery temperature, fully discharged/damaged battery, and the damaged power switch. So I went through more forums, videos, and articles and also talked with experienced pilots and I’m proudly here today to unleash all the things I found. That’s why this issue took my attention to find out why this kind of issue happens. I have seen many drone pilots searching to solve this issue. Feels so bad, right? If you are having this kind of situation don’t worry because I’m here to help you to fix it. Then you are going to the drone and try to turn it on but the drone won’t turn on.

Imagine having a sunny day and you are trying to have nice drone shots.
