Hi Team,

I have a DJI Mini 2 which I have just replaced the gimbal housing after damage during a crash.
Repair was successful and camera moves well etc.

Before the repair, and after the crash, I also had error messages:

GPS signal low. aircraft unable to auto hover and takeoff restricted. Move to environment with adequate light. Unlocking takeoff restrictions not recommended(Code: 30239)
Vision sensor error. Contact DJI (Code: 180030)
Vision sensor error. Contact DJI (Code: 180031)
Downward vision sensor error. Contact DJI (Code: 180016)
GPS Signal weak. Hovering unstable. Fly with caution (Code: 30008)

These errors remain after the repair.

Furthermore, during repair, I noticed that the 'DJI Mini 2 Gimbal Camera PTZ Cable' had become dislodged from its 'socket' on the board.


From here, I assuming that this is most likely all pointing towards the cable being damaged and needing replacement.


May I please ask if this is likely to be the case with these error messages?

Thank you in advance

I forgot to mention, the reason I am suspecting the cable further is also due to there being no camera feed in the app, I am assuming as the power part of this cable on the camera unit is not delivering power

Based on the errors it sure sounds like the gimbal cable was damaged.

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out and we're deeply sorry for the trouble that this has caused. In this case, I'm afraid that you may consider sending the unit in for a proper diagnosis.
