A little frustrated right now with this thing. Having not used it for a few months, I expected updates required and the usual refresher but I can't get this thing to do anything at this point except display the camera, even though the drone is not even turned on.
So, here's the background. I fired up the remote and drone and calibrated the compass yesterday. Meanwhile, the thing had been incessantly beeping away which, best I've found says you have to go in to the secret menu and it's likely toggle calibration or something. I wasn't quite able to get to that to even begin to figure it out. I tried 3 times to do an update to the aircraft and it would get through 2 steps and give a failure on the third.
I turned things off and on a few times, trying again. At some point, the drone would not turn on at all with the usually loud beeps. Instead, just a white light on power button and no sounds at all, though the remote can connect to the camera.
My initial thought was that I ran the battery dead dealing with above but I charged all night, fresh battery and it will not start. So, now I need it to start to see if I still have the fast beeping problem.
Appreciate some insight here.

UPDATE: Ok, using this tutorial from Yuneec I stumbled, I got the drone to finally fire back up. NOW, I'm back where I was originally with the continuous and rapid beat, light flashing from purple to white every few seconds.
Also, camera now faces straight down.
Anyone know how to resolve this?
FYI - When I go to that secret menu, all buttons are red and when I click start, all show red fail. Though J3 has flipped to green and Pass. All others fail.
There has to be a way to reset or something here.
