Today after 4 weeks , i crash my dji phantom 3 standard into tree and after that in the ground .
The phantom body is still perfect the plastic okay ,but when i power on the phantom i can not fly , he show _ accelerometer failed , and i read here in the forum and i understand there are two option : to smack the drone and to wish that work , or
To open the drone and take care of it - i choose this way , but what exactly i need to do ?

Are you familiar with intricate electronic repair work?
How about the 3rd option - Call nearest DJI customer support and ask to ship the crashed/damaged drone in for repair.

i am think that i will not take the 3rd option because they are not very near to me , (i need to drive about 2 or 3 hours ) and they dont accept shippment , they want that i will come with the product .
and i understand that the second option is not so Problematic , i need to open the phantom (to open some screws ) and then to push out the black box with Tweezers or something like that , to give the black box some small beat on each side and to push the box in again , and to check the phantom . i am right ?

If you know which side hit the tree, you can sometimes "unstick" the accelerometer by smacking it from the opposite side.  I'd try a sharp medium hit on the opposite side from where it hit and see if that brings it back.  If/when it does, be sure to do a fresh cold IMU calibration, followed by gimbal calibration.  While you're at it, calibrate the compass before you fly next.

Check out this thread before you do anything.

http://forum.dji.com/thread-19612-1-1.html

Also use the search function here on the site and put in the word   accelerometer

It will give numerous threads of what other people have done.
