Hi,

I've broken my mini 2 se body a little bit resulting in gimbal ribbon being broken. May I change ribbon with the one from mini 2 ( I can't find mini 2 se parts anywhere)?

Thanks

Hi, Kub. Thank you for reaching out. Can you please provide us a photo of the specific ribbon you're pertaining to for us to check? We will wait for your reply. Thank you.

Hi, Kub. Thank you for the photos. We'll forward it to our relevant team to check if we have this information available.

Is the Mini SE under warranty?

IMHO, I would send it in for repair and remove all doubt.

Uuum if the middle shell of the Mini 2 SE is similar to that of the Mavic Mini and Mini 2 you appear to have broken more than just the ribbon cable. A large amount of the front of the middle shell is missing, which also means the front end of the gimbal is unsupported. The drone needs a new middle shell and that means a complete rebuild.
I can't see for certain but it looks to me as if the framework that carries the gimbal is also broken and I would be rather surprised if the gimbal etc. will work properly after that sort of damage being done to the drone.What did the damage to the drone?

I would suggest returning the drone to DJI for repair.

Hi, Kub. Thank you for patiently waiting. Our relevant team advise us to just send it in for repair. No self-assembly is advised.  You may submit an online repair request through this link: {https://repair.dji.com/repair/index}. If you need assistance with creating a ticket, you may contact DJI support at (https://www.dji.com/support). Thank you for your kind understanding.

Why does everyone suggest to send it in for repairs? Literally take a few screws out and replace the ribbon cable. Cables $20.

Because there is no guarantee that the ribbon cable is the only damaged component and, unless you carry a stock of known good components, then, if the ribbon cable does not fix the problem, you are left guessing which component to buy next and try.
Add to that that you then likely start running into having to run python scripts to match gimbal components to the main board and a DIY repair becomes less atractive.

BESIDES WHICH, did you fail to spot that a large protion of the main shell is missing i.e virtually ALL of the nose !!!!!!

So much for '' take a few screws out and replace the ribbon cable'', lol, to replace the shell means a COMPLETE dismantling  of the drone and that requires unslodering and resoldering the wiring.

just replace it yourself if it's still turning on and if especially still have connection
it's worth the risk since sending it to dji would cost an arm and a leg
just look online for mini 2 ribbon cable

also your middle shell is half gone might want to get that checked out and the propeller arm is also cracked

DJI repairs are, in general, quite reasonably priced.

My gimbal has broke in a crash nothing else wrong can I replace the holder and the gimbal, I’ve watched some videos looks easy and I do computer repairs. I can’t find any gimbals for the mini 2 SE which is what I have, will the mini se or mini 2 setup fit or will it say incompatible as I don’t have some sort of software for it?
SEE PHOTOS BELOW thanks in advance

Posted before see above^ for some reason didn’t let me post photos
