Okay guys,
Bought my Pro in Autumn 2018 and had a crash approx 6 months ago however all good and no issues....or so I thought.
I had the drone on yesterday to autocalibrate the gimble and the drones compass and realised the drone was getting extremely hot underneath. I then received the overheating board message and shut the drone down. Searching online made me realise this is due to the drones fan not activating. I then turned everything back on after it had completely cooled and flew the drone hovering at 2 feet until it returned to home activated regularly checking the drones temp and it was cool having not overheated. Is this a common temporary issue or is the only answer send it in?
DJI said the EU warranty is 2 years and it needs to be sent in for inspection/repairs but they'll instantly notice the minor dent from the crash and blame that even though the can has only just packed up.
I've seen videos on YouTube but I'm not dissecting it because I'll end up causing more problems however I can see the fan appears to move freely when turning it with a pin.
Of note I did test fly it at 2 feet for a charged battery life regularly checking the temp and it was fine, no overheating and no warning messages. Not sure if this was because the flying cooled it but I'm worried either way....
