My Mavic Pro remote control GL200A is not charging because of broken pins within the Micro USB connector. Is replacement the only option? Can it be repaired? Is there another way to charge the remote?

1. Are you sure your inserting the cable the right way?
2. Are you within warranty?
3. What is your location? US of A?

This port is notoriously delicate. Thats why I went with a magnetic connector/charging cable, I just leave the mag. connector in the controller port, and when charging the cable just snaps/clicks to the connector and voila, your charging, and you leave that little sucker in 100 percent of the time, reducing the chance to damage the connector.

Great advice thanks Flycaster. I have ordered an "as new" replacement for AU$200 and a magnetic charging cable to make sure it doesn't break again :-)
