Bill for Repair

[ccoltmanm]

One day (before a trip, so that gets me mad), my Mavic Pro stopped transmitting video. It would still fly but I would get he dreaded video encoder issue. After hours of trying to fix it on my end through firmware issues, I contacted support and sent it in.

I’m using just the manufacturer warranty, and because I didn’t crash or damage it, I was hoping they’d fix it for free. Just got the invoice. Looking good.

man.. that really sucks. I assume you tried to downgrade firmware and the go 4 app right?

Did you try the format the SD card. Sometime that fixes the issue.

 

[ccoltmanm]

Yep. Did both. And everything else I could find on YouTube. They are covering it so they just acknowledge it’s their fault.

Lucky Dog! That's a huge fee that you escaped!

You know, DJI doesn't really have bad customer service. They just have to have proof the incident was not pilot error. I can't blame them. I can imagine how many they get that are due to pilot error.

I went through two Bebop 2's before I learned how to really fly and take care of the equipment. Not saying yours was pilot error, just pointing out that their CS isn't always bad. You have a super bad situation because of the timing of it.

Update. The drone I received was not my original. Thy charged me to fix (even though covered by warranty) my drone and then sent me a used one. I’m assuming also fixed. Serial different. Props were damaged and cut. Drone was dusty sandy and dirty. Sensors on the bottom were loud and making a noise. Called and they said send it back.

More than a month out. They sent me another one today. This one appears new. Flying well right now.
