Z15 + GH4 White Screen

[Dave_EP]

I recently had my Z15 gimbal replaced. I never saw the white screen problem with the old one - not ever.

The new one can easily take 2 or 3 (or more) power cycles to get a picture from the camera, with almost all first or second power ups giving only a white screen. This does not look good with a client looking on.

So, is this an inherent problem that I was lucky not to see on the first one, or is the second gimbal a dud that needs to go back? Sending back to DJI sounds like a very long process

Seems a few people have had this issue. I had my first white screen yesterday. Restarted a few times and all good.

Seems DJI are offering a replacement HDMI board. Cold seems to be the issue.

Add my brand new one to this list.
Fine on the bench.
0-4 deg C with wind chill for test flight.
1st flight out of the van fine. Change Lipo for another & reboot with camera on or off, then on after initalisation (which isn't in the book) still nothing.
Get home. 1st power cycle on the bench..nothing BUT leave it 10-15 mins to warm up & all is well again.
Long story short the whole gimbal is being replaced under warranty.

Reset gimbal, compter AND monitior. Completely remove power from all.
