Got a drone awhile back. Just wanted to learn with it.

Ok pulled this thing out of the garage. It's called the DJI phantom 3 standard. Ok so I tested it out at my grandfather's house. It hovers at 3 foot until you take control of it with controller. To get it to hover, you have to take off with your phone. So we were inside at this point because it was windy and raining at my GF house. So I packed it up and took it to my house. Now when I try it at my house, I can't get it to do anything. Not take off, nothing. My question is how can I fix this? Anything is helpful. Also I am really dumb about tech stuff. So you will have to explain to me like I'm 5. Thanks.

While this really isn't too complex a a topic for this forum, you'd get more bang for your buck time wise going to youtube university. Just search on the drone name and how to fly.

I don't have one and know little about them but if you have followed the instructions then it sounds like your product is defective.
Cover the basics in the instructions again to make sure you haven't overlooked anything and at that point if it doesn't work then it's time to return the product.

Might have to re-set it up with your current wifi.

Just spit balling here, but it may be stuck in some kind of safety mode if it isn't picking up enough GPS signals.

It might be geolocation locked. The DJI app will lock you out of flying the drone all the way up to not allowing any control at all if you are in an area DJI has marked restricted. It should be visible in the DJI flight app on the map, but if not, there are other drone info sites you can look up drone restricted areas. Airports, prisons and military bases are the main culprits for geo-lock out.
Otherwise yo shite might just be broke.
