You have download all of the DJI apps from their website now, they no longer post them in playstore or Appstore. Any dji mini drone is not that old, but that's coming from someone who still flies a Mavic Pro and a Mavic 2 Zoom all the time. Still some of the best out as far as I'm concerned...

It may show yet, I've had them lose things in the past and it always eventually showed up. If not, it would be DJI's problem since they are the "shipper". They would have to file a claim on it, however they make you wait 30 days before they can file. Then if you decide to file on it, UPS would...

No doubt the drone they sent you back has the RID updated firmware. So, therefore you will need to update to the latest controller and GO4 version in order for the system to operate correctly and your error 180 to disappear.

Drones in the US have to transmit a Remote ID (RID) signal when flying. This is location data that maned aircrafts use to help avoid any sort of collision. The Remote ID rule went into effect sometime in January if I remember right. Some of the older dji models were able to upgrade to built in...

Along with the latest firmware you also need the latest version of GO4 in the smart controller. You can download that diretly using the lightening browser built into the smart controller. Just use it to go to the DJI website, then the Mavic 2 area, and then downloads if I remember correctly...

Make sure you have the latest firmware version in the aircraft and the latest version of GO4 download right from the DJI website. After I did that and rebooted both, the error 180 was gone and has never returned.

I've had the code 180 error after updating the firmware for the remote ID thing. I then downloaded the latest version of GO4 for the smart controller right from the DJI website using the built-in browser. After installing that it was all happy and has worked fine since. So, I guess all I can...

That should rinse it out especially if you really flooded it enough to push the water and alcohol out till it's down to just alcohol. Then blow it to get as much out as possible and follow-up with fan/air dry. The problem is that any electronic damage was done the moment it hit the water and was...

If GO4 is installed and working, use it. That's the correct DJI app to use with a Mavic 2 aircraft. There's also some 3rd party apps that will work, but as a newbie GO4 is definitely the one to use.

Most likely the battery swelled and popped loose, instant power loss. At least that's my first thought. There's folks on here that could look over the flight data file and give you a better explanation I'm sure.

Been a ham since 1988 and would be interested in how you release the wire. They do make release systems for these, but they're not cheap. Let know when you get time. KB9BYP

I guess if you have one updated just try it and see if it works in the non-updated bird. Otherwise, why not just update both drones so you don't need the RID module. I mean, since it's built in why not use it. I updated my M2Z and Smart Controller back around the first of the year and it's works...

Exactly my point, maybe a little more direct, but I definitely agree. I know I (and we) have to try not to be political in these forums. However now days in the US it's hard to separate DJI and politics. It seems one follows the other, especially when there's little reminders like this...

Guess not.

This is due to the anti-china and tariff thing. It could take a long time for them to get over their latest tantrum. It might old model before it's returned. We're not under the normal rules anymore, it's an authoritarian government now.
