I have sent in a bunch of mavics for repair, some just needed new gimbal Parts, others needed new arms or legs. The battery tray part has always been in perfect condition, however DJI has always replaced them and as a result I got a new serial numbers after the repair. They have done this in at least a dozen repairs. The new serial number now does not jive with the serial number on the box but thats besides my point.
I'm wondering if the replacement battery cover and new serial number is DJI s way of saying that it was completely repaired and tested before leaving DJI repair facilities and is considered as good as new? Every time I have sent one in it requires me to reactivate it when i get it back, and also lets me buy refresh if it wasn't purchased within 48 Hours of activation. The repair prices I've had to pay have been between 300 and $500. The next few of them that I send in I'm going to mark with a small yellow dot on every part so I will know if DJI is just sending me a refurbed drone (which is okay anyway) or actually repairing the one i sent. My suspicion is the former.
