DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ Vision Plus Blank or Black Screen Repair and Fix

Section 3: Check that you're good to go

  1. Disconnect the wifi board from the TTL adapter, disconnect the TTL from the USB port, exit command prompt
  2. Un-jumper BOOT from 3v3 on the wifi board (disconnect the two pads)
  3. Connect the TTL adapter to the USB port
  4. Open Tera Term, connect to the appropriate COM port: Setup > Serial Port > COMXX, Flow control:none, Speed 115200
  5. Plug the TTL adapter to the wifi board
  6. You should see results like this:

In the case of a successful flashing job, the above text will just keep going as the board looks for the top board, doesn't find it and loops. This is normal and means it's all working well. Once you see the text scrolling by for 30 seconds or so, you can unplug the board and reassemble it. You've had a successful flashing job.


But if you see the below results, the NAND is still corrupt and the kernel (not just the bootloader) needs to be flashed. I haven't had success flashing the kernel on these. If you do, please reach out via the contact link below and let me know, thanks!
