A few weeks ago I bought a 2nd hand spark
I used it many time for about 10 days with zero problems, and zero crashes. Suddenly it became real erratic and moves up and down a lot on take of, and doesnt really hold its position. One time, it just started going up by itself, and I managed to get it back down.
I spoke with DJi, and found that it literally had 1 day left on the warranty
Even though it was faultless for 10 days. I have no idea about its past history
I was advised to take it to a local dealer who would then forward it to DJI
The local dealer massively talked down DJI warranty and repairs and convinced me to let them send it a local (same country Thailand) DJI place, who would look and it and see it they could repait it and give me a price to fix. I was wary of this as it just seemed like they wanted to make some money. Tens days later they say they can fix it and it will cost about $80 for them to send it to DJI for me. I looked up DHL and it is less than half the cost I am being told..
I feel like they are further trying to cheat me a bit and I have lost all confidence
Currently. I feel my best bet is to get it back and sell it as a faulty unit, with the extra batteries and controller and recover whatever I can for it.
DJI tell me to not lose faith and that I should send it back and assume it will be covered by warranty
I feel it is unlikely it would be covered by warranty ( as it is 2nd hand , who knows?), so there seems little point to return it, and throw good money after bad.
After the shipping cost, there is not much headroom before it becomes more expensive to fix than I could get another 2nd hand unit for.
Anyone have any thoughts about this?
