    Camera malfunction errors after transmission cable replacement

    Sounds like it's seen some rough times! I'm not sure so can't say definitively; I didn't unclip the PTZ cable when making repairs. Look for any damage on the bottom of the drone where the teeth could have penetrated the body and into the motherboard just to make sure. I hear you on the...

    Camera malfunction errors after transmission cable replacement

    There's a post office across from my place but it takes days so I totally get it! If the gimbal isn't moving at all then the PTZ cable could be the culprit. However, I am curious why you wouldn't get the camera feed if the transmission cable is fixed properly. I really hope it's just the cable...

    Camera malfunction errors after transmission cable replacement

    You’re right. The motherboard needs to be recoded through a proprietary DJI software (through DJI or an authorized retailer). However, I only replaced the transmission cable and didn’t do anything else. I also went back to make sure the connectors were set in properly and none of the pins were...

    Camera malfunction errors after transmission cable replacement

    Hi! My gimbal was stuck and none of the fixes worked (was flying perfectly though). I noticed one of the strands on the transmission cable was broken so I replaced it myself. Did a clean job and there were no issues. When I turned the drone on, there were a plethora of errors starting from...
