M2P standard RC USB loose connection

ecandelas · Sep 4, 2020

Anyone know of a good place to get my standard RC worked on? I’m in the DFW TX area. I normally use it with an iPad but the usb connection is shorting out and needs pressure on it to stay connected. Funny fix is to stick a JUUL pod in the gap and it keeps pressure on the connection and works fine as a temporary solution ? I need to get it fixed soon.

Is the problem with the micro-A usb port on the side of the controller or the normal sized usb port on the base ?

I tried messing with the USB port prongs and still no luck. After calling around Im hearing its a normal wear and tear issue (i fly a lot). Replacing the large USB connection which is soldered to the main RC board is labor intensive and might as well just buy a used or new RC.

So.... ISO a Mavic 2 Pro standard RC, if anyone is selling.
