Hubsan X4 FPV flaky video

[Joymaker]

I am on day 5 of flying my new Hubsan X4 FPV. The video is on the fritz, and it has been from day one. First power on, black screen. A while later, suddenly there's video. Anytime I take a hard landing, it might switch from on to off or off to on – and I've also seen it flickering in and out by the half second.

In other words, there's a wire loose. Has anyone had experience with this problem? Anyone know where to look? Is it even possible to get into this drone enough to fix such a thing without destroying it?

If it's that new, why spend your time trying to trouble-shoot? I would suggest returning to the vendor for a replacement. Hubsan
s are generally pretty solid, so a replacement should cure your situation.

Because I want to use it NOW not in two weeks when they would get it back to me

Of course, warranty service is the best answer if there is no easy fix.
