Yes folks, I managed to break my Mavic Air 2 after not even a week of ownership .
Sold 2 Mavic mini's to buy this one, used, and it was awesome (for the time it was working).
Now since it's used and didn't have Care Refresh I had to do the video etc showing pre-flight check and working gimbal to send to DJI. This to apply for the Care Refresh package.
Well I managed to crash the drone, right before doing the video, (one meter off the ground) with a splash of water to the gimbal and everything behind it (not submerged).
It did take a hit to the gimbal but the gimbal itself seems to be OK (no visual damage, doesn't feel like it's binding). I couldn't get to it fast enough to shut it off after the fall so I think the main board got fried. After the fall I took it apart to see if the ribbon cable was damaged internally (I flew it before that but the gimbal was behaving erratic and was shaking "gimbal overload error" plus the drone didn't want to go sideways, only front and back.) N mode was also slower than C mode. In C and S mode it was able to go all directions but N mode it was very slow and didn't want to go left and right. When I took it apart I noticed kind of "oxidation" (maybe burned) where the camera ribbon attaches to the board, not the smaller one but the larger one. There IS video feed but no gimbal movement. I think I will have to get another board somewhere.
