I have a Gl300c rc that has 2 faulty components.
Can someone please tell me what they are so that I can purchase and replace them.
Here is an image that shows their location on the board.
They are located to the left of the charging leds.
Help is much appreciated!

Why would I do that?

Only 2 components that probably cost less the a couple of dollars are all that's wrong with the entire board.

DJI do not publish schematic diagrams of their boards, in fact they do not replace them if they are faulty. If there is a fault, DJI exchange the whole board. If you don't know what components they are, then how do you know they are faulty?

I have investigated the charging problem that myself and many hundreds of dji owners are having for the last 3 days straight.
I know for a FACT that the 2 voltage regulator components are causing the problem.
The battery is fully charged to 8.36v yet the dji app reports a 70% charge and the rc only flashes 3 lights and then cuts out.
Given that I paid over £1400 for a drone and accessories that has such widely reported problems I feel that dji can at least tell me where the components can be obtained or sell them to me. I am not asking for schematics, driver code or trade secret algorythms.
I am sure they would rather I paid another £170 for a new board on top of the drone and batteries I already bought that failed after 3 flights. The replacement is just as likely to have the fault with soldering issues that will cause the issue to reappear.

For a technical genius such as yourself, who can positively diagnose a couple of faulty components without so much as a schematic circuit diagram or details of the specific components,  you should be able to easily locate equivalent replacement parts from the many integrated circuit manufacturers worldwide !

For the rest of us, DJI make available replacement circuit boards or modules and offers an in house repair service !

Seems reasonable to me.....

170 euro replacement boards for new drones that cost over 1300 euros. Really?
I did not realise some people would consider this a good deal. Too rich or too ####.

I'm guessing you said "dumb".  Well, what about needing the board to fly again?   Makes sense to spend 170 to keep 1300 up in the air.

8 pin chip on left could be a CW2015CSAD by Cell Wise, a battery level monitor chip. You may find it on eBay.Looks like it has a metal pad directly under the chip for heat transfer so it’s going to need carefully reflowed to get it off without surrounding parts getting detached.
