Another day, another problem with my Osmo..

It seems like every time I use it I get more disappointed with the quality.

My charger started behaving strangely and I discovered if I held the power cord at a specific angle it would work, but if it moved at all it would stop working and make sparking sounds and I could smell magic smoke.

I started pulling apart the charger to find that it was glued (or welded?) together and I had to really hack at it with a screwdriver and hammer to get it apart.

Here's what I found:

The power socket was loose and literally fell off the PCB without de-soldering. This wasn't a broken solder joint, it was a very dry joint.
I soldered it back on and glued the charger back together and it seems to be working now.

I really wonder how this product passed DJI's quality conrol?? Fire hazard much???
