Any chance of getting ahold of the seller? Give them a chance to either help you get it flying or prep them for a return/refund?

I suggest you do whatever resets you can first then Work on getting the DJI Assistant program installed to "get into" the Spark a bit more intensively than normal and maybe try going to a different firmware when you do get the Assistant program going. I found a post with some info that I copied...

Do a search for that error with trying to open the assistant file...there is a fix for that but I don't remember the exact fix.. Did you try to calibrate the remote?

What does the body of the Spark look like at that spot that shows the burned/overheated mark?

Yes, a good place to start. Any vibration will cause a fuzzy image, especially in a video! Please post up if you find anything? Also, I am remembering someone posting about the small screws that hold the gimbal to the body coming loose...that will definitely affect it!

It is normal to get that "error" message when reading the SD card from the Spark. Something to do with Windows but that won't affect the video anyway... I do recall somebody having the same issue as you with the video being soft/not focused and he discovered that the gimbal was not free and...

Get a different OTG cable and/or check/clean the USB ports on the controller and the phone. It is VERY easy to bend or displace those tiny connections and the port on the phone can gather a lot of "pocket lint".

I only had lag like that when the Bluetooth was actually connected to the gimbal! And the app for the Gimbal wasn't even running! I usually fly the Spark if using the Note8 with Bluetooth ON and not even in airplane mode but not actually connected to anything Bluetooth ( I am usually very...

OK, I had some free time this afternoon and did a little very unscientific and crude experiment just in my backyard (a few wifi signals were active there including my own from the house) using my Note 8 with a WIFI connection to the remote (no OTG using that phone) and a Huwai Elate in Airplane...

It sounds like you have the basics covered and that you have a good grasp on the app/connection. But, if your lag is like the clips you posted, that is not too bad. I find that passing my hand in front of the Sparks camera while it is just sitting on a bench and watching that delay gives me a...

I have lag on my lower-end phones and tablets and the OTG cable improved it by leaps and bounds. The DJI app is a resource hog and the video feed from the Spark is the first thing that is compromised, apparently. A few things pop into my mind to check, forgive me if you've checked these...

You either connect to the Spark itself with a phone OR connect to the remote with the phone and then connect the remote to the drone. The default password for the REMOTEs WIFI is :12341234 The default password for the Spark itself is different and I replied to your other post about retrieving...

Since you don't have the box or read the sticker under the battery, even resetting won't help unless you know the default. The default password for the Spark itself is different for each one. Somebody above posted that it is:12341234....that is the default for the remote controller which is the...

If you use the "download" icon when previewing the images on your phone, that image will be full resolution after download but I have found that downloading from the Spark to the phone to be flakey...you might have to navigate to where the full picture ended up on the phone ( it will be marked...

Just to verify, I just tried my Spark connected with a USB cable and the PC (Windows 10) DOES find the SD card as usual..
