My mini 3 is giving me fwd bkwd sensor error after updates.  Never had this problem before and my last flight was successful with no errors, and no bumping or shocks of any sort.

I was told by support to use DJI Assistant 2 (consumer drone series).  The software running on windows 10 laptop not detecting the drone but if I use the same cable and plug in the transmitter it detects it just fine.  Think perhaps one of DJI’s updates has corrupted something.  I’d rather not have to send my drone to DJI, is there a firmware update that can be applied without DJI Assistant 2 as assistant is not detecting the drone.

Hi there, may we double confirm if you have a Mini 3 or Mini 3 Pro? Could you please provide a screenshot of the error message for further confirmation? Thank you.

I flew the drone without the fwd and bkwd sensors this afternoon so everything else seems to work.

Thanks for the information provided. Please note that the aircraft will disable vision sensors when it is on the ground to reduce power consumption. When the aircraft takes off, all vision sensors will be enabled. Please feel free to use them. We also sent you a PM for some detailed information, please take a look.

Could we get to the bottom of why the mini 3 is not being detected by DJI ASSISTANT 2 (consumer edition)?  It communicates fine with the transmitter.  I’d like to be able to check the status of the se does and recalibrate.

May I double confirm if the computer recognized the drone when it is connected to the computer?

If yes, please help to confirm the current DJI Assistant 2 version you have on your computer, or try to uninstall the software and install again from https://www.dji.com/downloads/so ... sumer-drones-series
Please also try to use a different cable to isolate the issue. Besides, when connecting the aircraft to the computer, please go to the system and see if the driver is installed properly.
Please keep us updated if the issue persists.

If the computer can not recognize the drone either, you may try a different cable, and replug the cable from the drone, use another computer as well. If the issue persists, we suspect the connection port's issue, you may need to send the drone back for further tests if this is the case.
