New V6 won't power on or connect

[tcash21]

Hello,

I'm very excited to try out the V6 Fifish but I can't even get it to turn on. It seemed to power on the first time I plugged it all in (heard the 7 chimes when turning on the controller, then the 5 chimes when connecting to the ROV).

I connected to the Fifish wifi but the screen in the iOS app said 'Disconnected'.

Decided to try to fully charge the ROV and controller overnight. The controller seemed to charge fine (solid white light) but the AC adapter for the ROV blinks red/green. It does not appear solid green or red when I connect the charger to the drone, just blinks mostly red.

So now I can't get a connection to the drone and of course the app still says 'disconnected.'
I also tried updating the firmware (download it via the app while connected to internet, then connect to the Fifish wifi and follow the instructions, but it says network error).

Please help! Really wanted to take it out this weekend.

I have the same situation. The new drone swam for only an hour and then shut down. I pulled through and missed the warranty as it was hard and painful to send out.
Today I disassembled the drone (a real quest), and yes, the hole is scorched on the motherboard.
Found a new motherboard only in the US, thinking to order one.

I had a similar problem ... discovered that I wasn't pushing the controller-to-ROV lead into the jack on the back of the controller properly. It takes a firm push for it to click in properly.

Have you bought a new board?
Do you have more pics inside fifish v6? (foto battery and other).
