Not a common thing, but can happen. You did take the lens cap off right?

motor overheating and gimbal stuck in mini 4k

It would appear that your situation is uniquely yours… On the internet (from all over the world) the only issues that keep cropping up are Firmware Update issues.


Most say they have problem even applying the Update and problems after the Update is applied…) . I do not own one so I do not know...

A Motor that over heats is uncommon enough but in such a new model that sounds like a warranty issue. The stuck Gimbal; without more data, and knowing how and where you fly (Nepal) but from what surface? A stuck Gimbal, if not caused by a crash is often an issue with dirt, do you use a Landing Pad or do you fly from the local terrain (dirt, mud, rocky surface, etc…)?

Welcome from Kentucky, Try using compressed air to blow out the dust and dirt.

I fly from local terrain and I tried to clean it up but no success.

I tried that too but no luck.

Not heard of that, but welcome to the forum from the UK! As others have said, could be gunk or as a result of gimbal cover being on when drone switched on. Have you had any error messages come up on the RC?

Well, do not fly from the ground or learn to hand catch and launch. You probably got all types of dirt in the gimbal assembly and you said you used compressed air, did you use "clean" compressed air from a can, not your local garage tire compressor. And do it again with clean air, it's a small expense, to save you a repair bill.

When you spray the clean air, do not let the blast of the air slap the gimbal all around, you are just cleaning out any debris that might be in the pivot points. Remember, the gimbal is the most delicate part on your drone.

As for the overheated motor, you did not tell us if the drone is under warranty or not…

We don't get air cans in Nepal but I used medical grade air from compressor which I believe is clean. I will try to hand launch if it gets repaired. For the warranty I have to ask my friend because it was a gift from one of my friends from Germany.

My RC doesn't have display. But I didn't get any errors for RC in my phone display.

 

[LoudThunder]

I used medical grade air from compressor and My RC doesn't have display.

The Medical Grade Air is more than accurate and it is very clean… If the drone is still under warranty, you may have to ship it back to your friend in Germany as your friend is the original purchaser and there may be special aspects of that drone is only repairable in Europe and not in Asia…

A while back, a member bought a DJI Drone is Japan (the Japanese Mini 2 Drones use a smaller battery and still weigh less than 250-grams even with prop guards…) and brought it back to the USA so he could fly it over people in his business. However, it needed repairs and he had to send it back to a friend in japan to have the repairs made…

You wrote to another member that you do not have a display either so perhaps it is not a "stuck Gimbal" but some other problem. You did not say if this just came on or occurred after an accident (as in a crash or accidental dropping of the drone…). Tell us more and do not be afraid to say, "I dropped it or I ran it into a wall, or other such stuff.) Most of us have done something with their drone that they are not proud of…

Not sure if his applies to your situation:

When DJI Mini 4 Pro stays in standby mode for a long time, its temperature may continuously rise. The aircraft has a built-in temperature control system, when in standby mode the aircraft can make intelligent judgments based on the current temperature to better reduce the temperature. DJI Mini 4 Pro is added with an energysaving mode. When the temperature of the aircraft rises to a certain temperature, the aircraft will enter the energy-saving mode. If the temperature of the aircraft continues to rise, it will power off to prevent overheating.
