Just received my Osmo Pocket from the service center yesterday after a whole month sitting there. My initial probelem was battery not charging to 100%. It would stop around 70-80% but other than that, it worked perfectly.

The technician diagnose the problem as core board malfunctioned and quoted me a price to repair.  DJI recevied the unit on Jan 28 and diagnosed the problem on Feb 4th.  The repair cost was a bit high so I opted not to do the repair and live with the 70% battery life.  Within the day, I noticed the service progress had changed to shipping preparation.


Fast forward two weeks and still no UPS tracking email, so I inquired about the delay.  It took over 4 weeks for me to get the Pocket back, UPS delivered the package on Mar 4th.  But here is the problem, as I unwrapped the Pocket from the bubble wrap, I noticed the back cover was not fully seated, it seems like they did not attempt to place the back cover on and just bubble wrapped it.  To make things worse, the unit does not power on or charge now.  Lucikly I was able to film the unboxing or else I'm pretty sure DJI would not believe me.

After calling customer service, they want me to create a new repair case to get this shipped back.  This is definitely not a good experience and leaving a bad taste in my mouth.  I'm hoping one of the DJI reps can help expediate this and just get my Pocket back to it's operating form.

The original case#: CAS-11701255-G5Y0V1

Looks like the package was delivered via UPS on Friday to DJI service center.  Repair progress still shows as "Not Received", assuming this is due to repair technician not having the package in their hands yet.     
Update: it has now change to damage assessement

Hi DJI Wanda,
Just wanted to get clarification here before I move forward.  When I originally sent in my OSMO Pocket, the unit was working, just had issue with battery not fully charging to 100%, problem was core board. When the unit was sent back to me, it was not working, no power, not charging.  Now the diagnostic is battery needs to be replace and I'm being charged $92.35 for it. I feel like I'm paying for an issue I did not cause.
Do you know if I pay for the charges, will the original problem with core board still be a problem or will I be getting a replacement for a working OSMO Pocket that is working condition.

Thanks!
