5D Button Came Off on My DJI RC Pro - How to Fix?

[marwan_zakaria]

I packed the RC Pro very tightly, and 5D button rubbed off the side of the bag and came off. How to install it back into the hole?

See the attached picture. Any help is much appreciated.

Did this happen at the same time your antenna broke?
Just glue it back on, and don't pack it so tightly that you rub buttons off and break antennas. LOL!

Did you find a solution? Mine broke off too so I bought a replacement and it just arrived from China. Now I need to figure out how to install it.

There is a way to install that button without opening the case. It requires a bit of modification to the silicon rubber seal that is part of the button. When built, that button is attached prior to the case halves being locked together.

I just got an “open box” unit off of eBay and this button is sadly broken on mine as well except the whole button it goes to is broken. The little shaft that the dial pops on to is stuck in the dial. Anyone know what the part number is for the actual button on the mother board or where I could find that out? I’m very handy with motherboard soldering so I’m not too worried about changing it out. Thanks!

the actual button on the mother board

Maybe?

5-way Tactile Switch

A 5-way tactile switch allows for a joystick-like interface in a very small package. These are surface mount, but easily soldered.

That looks about right and yah the whole shaft was broken off, I was able to extract it from the knob and super glue it back for the mean time

That looks about right

The tough part would to get the board out of the controller. It’s not fun.
