Hi, I have a problem, my controller won’t charge and it won’t connect to my phone. When I plug it into my pc a have an error message telling me that my USB port don’t have enough power. I tried with many different wire and it won't work, I can fly my drone with no problem but I can't connect my phone to controller. So I was wondering if DJI repaire it or if I need to buy a new one.

Give the connector a good clean and see if that makes any difference. If not, ship it to DJI as you can't buy new replacements of just the RC.

I saw that they sell ones on Amazon and on other sites, if I can buy a new one, do you think I can connect it to my drone? And I think I broke the port because it is clean and my pc feel that there is something connected to it USB port so.

If it's a genuine DJI MM RC in full working order then yes, you can link the RC to the drone.

If you are good with fine work and want to risk about $11, you could just replace the switch/connector board available here, no soldering needed : https://www.ebay.com/itm/DJI-Mav ... board-/254602349429

You would also need a very small Philips screwdriver and a T6H tool: https://www.amazon.com/Screwdriv ... 274124195&psc=1

Hmm, I wonder if it would be possible to make one of these with USB-C. I really dislike the mini USB.

Those connector ports and are delicate. Some ( not saying you) have tried to force the plug in upside down and have broke them.  By the picture it look beaten up. But that could just be the camera.

It isn't just the connector that is different between USB-C and Micro-USB. There is a signal difference so you could not change to a regular USB-C cable. You could change the connectors to USB-C types on both the controller and cable as they are and that would work as long as you paid attention to the orientation (USB-C is reversible, Micro is not). But the Micro-USB connector on the Mini controller has very tiny solder connections, way beyond my capabilities.

That port looks fairly distressed in your close-up. Damage may be the root cause of your problem?

Hello there. I am sorry for the trouble this has caused and thank you for reaching out. Upon seeing the photo you have posted it seems that there is an issue with the video-downlink /power port of your DJI Mavic Mini remoter controller. I would recommend you to contact our DJI support team at https://www.dji.com/support?site=brandsite&from=nav for further assistance. Just a reminder that  DJI do not recommend doing a DIY in fixing the said DJI remote controller to avoid further damaging the said unit. We hope to hear from you soon and looking forward to resolve this issue as soon as possible. Thank you.

The connector is definitely broken off there is no plastic just pins, it needs replaced/repaired.
