[size=14.6667px]Hi,
[size=14.6667px]Today my Mavic crashed from 30-40 m on the concrete steps.
[size=14.6667px]It happened after 1 min after took off.
[size=14.6667px]I tried to get some height, near the building. When it reached ~30 meters, it said that "maximum altitude reached", but I set it to 100 meters.Then Mavic drifted backwards and crashed into the building. Funny thing that after this crash, I see in the app that my maximum altitude is about 2,7 Km!
[size=14.6667px]When it hit the ground, it crashed into pieces. Gimbal, front left arm and battery torn away.
[size=14.6667px]Left forward sensor is smashed, whole hull is in scratches and bumps. And there's a crack on the battery.
[size=14.6667px]I was recording a video, but it's not opening now (from SD card). Unfortunately, no cache on the phone left too.
[size=14.6667px]On DJI Go App 4, when I replayed this flight, I see that everything was ok, I didn't fly backwards, it just drifted this way and hit the building. I'm sure 100% percent that I didn't done something wrong.
[size=14.6667px]It so, so sad and frustrating...
[size=14.6667px]Is there any chance that my Mavic can be replaced?

[size=14.6667px]

[size=14.6667px]BTW, I need some help. I'm afraid to keep battery, in case that cell could be damaged and probably they can start a fire.
[size=14.6667px]Also, I'm afraid to turn it on or connect to the PC to get logs from it - if circuitry is damaged, it can damage my PC.What I already done - wrote to my seller (they're providing 12 months warranty), and created a ticket to DJI.
[size=14.6667px]What I want to do - get logs from Mavic, and to be sure that battery won't explode. It's seems to be working normally, it showing it's charge and there are not any error codes (I mean LED blinks as usual).
[size=14.6667px]I'm using Android device, version of OS is 5.1.1, model LG G Flex 2, all latest updates on app and firmware.

[size=14.6667px]Sorry for my English, I'm a bit nervous right now.

Thank you for your answer!
No, I will not use this battery again, I'm just wandering if it is safe to keep it in the house.
I put it into metal box just in case. Discharge period is set to 2 days, hope everything will be fine.
I will wait for response from my seller, and if they will refuse to replace/repair it (but there's nothing left to repair though), I will sent it to DJI.
And one more question, I need to send everything I have? Including controller and charger, right?

How about the progress, did you seller help you handle it?
For the battery, please contact a professional battery disposal/recycling agent for more assistance.
Since the remote controller and charger are working properly, there is no need to send them in.

Same thing happened to me! My Mavic was split into pieces. I don't have DJI refresh for my Mavic.

Please see picture of the drone below.

Should i send it for repairs? Would DJI be able to replace it? Or should I just buy a new one?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi all!
As a the end of my story, DJI just replaced my Mavic with the new one, for free, without DJI Refresh.
I just wraped the remains of Mavic and a controller, packed it in the box, sent it to nearest service department (in Germany), and after a while they send me a message that my case is closed as they replaced the whole aircraft  with the new one. It took about 1,5 months, and new drone was sent to me about 10 days ago.
Now I'm waiting for the delivery, but I can't track my package with provided tracking number...
