I have to say, in as much as I support DJI and the products they sell, it gets old hearing send it in for repairs or you shouldn't attempt any repairs yourself. I have replaced shells on 4-5 phantoms and had them completely disassembled. I can't say as I have purchased a replacement board or anything, but I have had everything out of these things you can, and never had a problem with any of them.
Now, that may not be for everyone I understand, but it kind of gets me when you are asking for help and the answer you get is send it in for repair. To me, that is not helping. If they would say you may have an electronic issue or something with a component, and it requires their engineers to test or diagnose would be one thing I would understand, but that is not what you were told. Why would those of us that have the ability to work on these things, and also enjoy doing it, want to spend more money on something we can do? It just seems that response is given a lot.
In complete agreement.
1. My drone is more than a year old so the warranty is gone anyways.
2. A simple shell swap and board swap is nothing complicated. In fact, there isn't anything complicated about the inner-workings of these drones.
3. I don't need to send the drone in when the drone itself is functioning correctly. I have no error messages, nothing out of the ordinary, other than a single message saying "activate aircraft" every time I try and launch.
I got the exact same response from dji support. After he told me to try all the things I've already tried, he just resorted to, send it in and let us fix it for a hefty fee. |
