Upon re-try the controller kept showing "calibration error - restart Solo" message. Brought it back the shop and went through both compass and...

    software updates on a re-furb?

    I'm trying to set-up a refurbished Solo that has been in the box for months since 3DR sent it back. I've gone through several set-ups before, but this time the update process to link the controller with the Solo just keeps showing it's in progress - for an hour now. Is 3DR even still doing updates?
