Something happened to my Air 2S and I am told by the repair center I sent it to that it will cost $385 to repair. I was told the Mavic Air 2S has a defective coreboard along with a few sensor issues. The coreboard will be replaced and the drone will be rebuilt to ensure all sensors are firing properly. The drone will then need to be recalibrated along with updating the firmware/software and flight tested before shipping back. I am undecided about the best route to take. I could cut my losses and buy a new 3S and sell the batteries and accessories on Ebay. I could pay for the repair and sell it on Ebay where prices range roughly $500-$700 and buy a new drone or have it repaired and just use the 2S which is now 3.5yrs old. Tough decision, what do you guys think?
 
If sent to DJI repair you would receive a new/refurbished Air 2s for the repair price. DJI would not actually do a repair.
 
The 2S was out of warrantee so I sent to an independent drone repair shop here in New Jersey. There was no physical damage to the drone, it just stopped connecting to DJI Fly. I happened right after returning from a trip. The drone was never dropped or crashed.
