I have a Mavic Pro that I inherited and have flown a few hours with. Unfortunately I crashed it (not the 1st time) last week and the end result was a broken prop (easy fix) and a severed gimbal cable and torn mount. After watching several youTube videos on cable replacement, I ordered the needed parts and waited. When they arrived, I began the process while trying to video my disassembly. I soon gave up on the video and had it back together in about 4 hours. 1st test and no GPS. I thought I had carefully plugged it in but upon disassembly, it was unplugged. This time when it was back together, it has a vision system error. 3rd disassembly found 2 connectors not plugged in. Reassembled and now finally, no error codes showing.
Hope to fly tomorrow when the wind goes down.

Welcome aboard!

Very brave of you to attempt the repair yourself and I am impressed you got her in tip top shape. So 6hrs and $70 in parts got you airborne... not bad as it seems you enjoy putting things together. You will find the forum is a fine place were you can find answers to any question you may have, post your videos and oodles of info.

Actual parts were closer to $25. I went the cheapo route this time even though it has burned me before. I am a retired farmer who has learned to wear many hats during my career.

First off welcome to the forum

It's well known that farmers are some of the smartest and most talented people on the planet... you've got to be a farmer, an accountant, a soil expert, a transportation expert, mechanic (able to work on and fix just about anything and everything that moves or should move) and so much more. To say that I'm impressed with farmers is an understatement.
