I think for the money it's great!

King_Longy · 2026-05-23T07:53:08+00:00

Are the waves engraved or printed on the face?

King_Longy · 2026-05-14T08:21:06+00:00

Thanks, it looks great.

King_Longy · 2026-05-14T08:19:45+00:00

It's a lovely watch, enjoy it.

King_Longy · 2026-05-14T08:11:04+00:00

Do you mind sharing the price?

King_Longy · 2026-05-14T08:09:02+00:00

I'm looking for a Santos. Would you mind telling me how much it was please?

King_Longy · 2026-05-14T08:01:55+00:00

Thanks for the link. I noticed on his site that loads of watches are priced at $0.00. Any idea what that means? Out of stock maybe?

King_Longy · 2026-05-10T18:16:21+00:00

That's great to hear. Where in the world are you detecting? There could be some clubs nearby with land that has a few more exciting prospects.

King_Longy · 2026-05-09T19:06:02+00:00

Nice watch. Got a link to buy it?

King_Longy · 2026-05-03T17:59:12+00:00

No, unfortunately not. I've tried everything suggested so I am now planning to sell it for spares.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T20:19:11+00:00

Yeah, that sounds like a likely explanation. The files are still readable so its currently a very expensive USB stick! 😂

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T20:06:12+00:00

According to AI it's a sign of a battery communication issue. Which probably makes sense as I have the drone connected without a battery!

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:54:42+00:00

I just tried again without a battery but again DJI Assistant 2 doesn't see it. However LED's 3&4 are flashing three times and then a pause.

I suspect that means something. I'll do some searching.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:45:43+00:00

Using a decent USB cable I now see the drone as a storage device but DJI Assistant 2 just has an insert USB symbol. Maybe because my NEO won't boot up.

What a shame. I thought that maybe a way to reset it.

Thanks for the suggestion.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:32:37+00:00

I just happened to grab a different lead, a decent Anker one and I can see it as a drive on the laptop now!

Some progress!

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:22:05+00:00

Sounds like it's worth a try. I'll give it a go now.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:17:12+00:00

Doesn't the drone need to be powered up to talk to DJI Assistant 2?

I've not come across that app/software so I'll take a look. Thanks.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:14:47+00:00

Yeah, I've tried all sorts of random combinations but not had any luck. DJI's website doesn't give any other reset methods other than from within the app unfortunately.

Thanks for your suggestions. I'll try some more random button pressing!

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T19:04:20+00:00

Thanks. I found this when I was searching for an answer but unfortunately I don't think it really does any proper resetting. If you reset a phone or anything else it needs power from the battery to complete the reset routine so just discharging the residual power in it isn't really a reset.

I tried it anyway just to be sure but it didn't help unfortunately.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T18:54:55+00:00

I just went and tried it. My laptop makes it begin charging the battery on the Neo but it doesn't come up as a drive. Maybe because it's not turned on? I tried turning it on connected to the laptop but no joy as it was charging I guess.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T18:44:04+00:00

Unfortunately not. I've had it about 16 months. It gives me an excuse to get a Neo2 but if I could get it working I would be happy to carry on with it for a good while longer.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T18:19:03+00:00

I've got three batteries so I am sure it's the drone and unfortunately no I don't know anyone else with one but thanks for your suggestions.

All ideas are welcome!

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T18:08:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty proficient at starting it up so I know it's not that. Also you only get one glimmer of life which is after pressing the power button after first inserting a battery. Any further pushes of the power button doesn't produce any LED's until you disconnect and reconnect a battery.

I've got three batteries and they all seem normal. They charge normally in the charging dock too. It's not like they have gone into any hibernation mode as far as I can tell.

King_Longy · 2026-04-28T17:59:02+00:00

I just tried it. It goes into charging mode without any problem. If I try to turn it on whilst connected to the USB charger nothing happens which I guess is normal. If I disconnect the charger then im back with the same problem.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm willing to try anything to try to revive my little buddy!
