If you "replace the camera/gimbal You will either:
1, need to send the drone to DJI to do the work.
OR
2. Replace it Yourself....This will involve having to get the new part "Serialized" DJI parts are "matched" to each Drone by a process of adding a special number to the component that the Drone "checks" In order for your install to work you will need access to a DJI owned software tool called "Repair tool". There are sites that have clones of this software and offer to serialize your DJI parts for a fee (per part) usually this costs around 100 U.S.
I will tell you that I have used a service such as this and it works BUT DO YOUR Homework and make sure you are dealing with a reputable business!! Serializing the parts will Require you to give remote access to your P.C. to someone you have never met!

What he said. Get it done right the first time.

And DJI will send back a like new replacement at fair price. Every repair I've gotten from them has been replaced with a vrabd new unit. Unless you crash often, it's a better than buying Refresh.

Correct. I can not think of many companies that do that.

Is the existence of things like this a verboten topic on here? Interesting.

No The clone of the software can actually be purchased..... For a TON of money. (last I saw it was around 50 grand.)
I have not heard of DJI Doing anything to stop it and there are many people online that offer the service.
