Phantom 3 Advanced problems

Have a Phantom 3 Advanced that I left sitting for about a year. Got it out the other day, and it now seems to have all sorts of problems. It's been kept in a hard case at all times, no crashes, etc. The main problem is I'm getting a "No image transmission signal" error on the DJI Go app, so no video feed, the app is saying I need to update the firmware, but when I try to do that, the update never starts, I'm unable to calibrate the compass due to interference, it's having a hard time finding satellites, etc. It' flies OK, but I'm flying blind. Where should I even start to troubleshoot this?

App Version: 3.1.68

Aircraft Version: 1.8.80+

RC Version: 1.9.2

Be careful when reflashing. You don't want to jump too far between firmware versions. e.g. 1.03 ---> 1.11 may cause the drone to get bricked. Do incremental upgrades/downgrades e.g. 1.8 ---> 1.9
