Guys,

My mavic suffered a crash with a consequent breakup of the gimbal suspension lock.

As i have no assistance from DJI in Brazil, I proceeded with the repair, but today, after turning it on, i received a message of Compass 1 Disconnected, and No GPS signal.

Tried a full compass calibration procedure, but still having the same message.

I think it may be an assembly error, any clues of where those parts are inside the Mavic so i can check the connections?

P.s.: yes, i proceeded myself with the repair with youtube videos, and im familiar with DIY electronics such computers and home automation systems.

G/day mate,I had the same problem after a crash,try taking the top off again and check connection at the rear end.Its the last to go on but a bit fiddly.

Thanks mate, ill try!

Also a important thing to mention, before disassembly, the drone was working perfectly, except for the gimbal lock.
where you do things can make a difference,i get perfect readings in my living room but go in my bedroom and i get every error possible.
 
Mine came back from repairer like that,after fixing gimbal. Worth a look
