Question. I get a Compass error 1 - disconnected error now.

Re-calibrating does not help (even in the field with no metal what so ever around), firmware re-install.. didn't help.  I did all the calibrations and all stuff adviced...

Got it on the case/box... got the error ... lifted the drone... got me no error, but... afterwoulds, all the settings where gone to default so it looks, got locked to 50 meters height and 30 meters distance...
once at home, got that error again.

Thought it could be 'magnetising' of the compass sensor, bought a degausser... no luck. Got contact with DJI support... not very helpfull (even the repair procedure is weird)... the guy who sold me the degausser stated that probably the sensor has a cable breach or loosy contact... Advised me to buy new landinggear...

So questions for you guys:
- did any of you had this compass disconnected error also, and what did you do?
- did any of you buy new landinggear for the Phantom 4 Pro, which, sadly, are not sold anywhere, other then ebay!
- did any of you guys fix the compass sensors themselves? I saw a clip on youtube, that it's pretty darn difficult to even get to that sensor
- did any of you guys every sent your drone back to DJI, and... how fast was that and what did it cost you?

Thnx in advanced.

JePe.

Another Spark Compass 1 Disconnected issue.  My spark gave me this error after yesterday's flight where a "No Transmission Signal" was received while in flight.  The drone proceeded to land in place without returning to the home point (not good).  Once I retrieved the spark, there was a compass calibration error in red scrolling across the top of my iphone 6s.  When I went into the compass settings, I found the Compass 1 Disconnected error.  I am away from all possible magnetic interference but the error remains.  Help please.
