Mavic 2 pro : RC micro Usb failure

[Jacky.oppendinger]

Je fais référence à un problème avec la télécommande de mon Mavic 2 P; le micro usb utilisé pour charger la RC est endommagé; par conséquent, la RC ne peut pas se charger et le câble dédié ne reste pas bien en place.

Bonjour Jackie,

Try using a small magnetic USB connector in the USB port. I keep mine on it all the time, they prevent the type of breakage that you experienced, however you might be able to use one to fix your issue. It does not affect the performance of the RC controller.

Just use that port for charging and leave the connector on it all the time, and use the lower USB port for your phone and video when you are flying.

The only thing you have to watch for is make sure there is no magnetic dirt collecting on the connections. Here is an example:

Good advice. I use the same cable and leave the magnetic adapter in place. I did have to calibrate my controller sticks due to slight magnetic interference to the Hall Effect Sensors.

I didn’t experience that, but it’s very good to note in case that happens. Those connectors have very strong magnets in them.

Do you know what? I just realized something. Don’t start up your Mavic or try to calibrate its compass while holding your remote controller nearby with one of those connectors in it! I think I’ve just been lucky in that I always leave the controller near my truck or on the ground, and use both hands to hold the Mavic while calibrating it.

I don't know if the MP2 controller is the same as the original MP, however this could be worth viewing:

unfortunately it sounds like the port is already damaged ,and the only answer is to fit a new one into the controller, this involves taking it apart and fitting a new port, that comes complete with a new cable attached ,this has been an issue since the very first mavics and is caused by putting the micro connector plug in the port upside down,apart from the magnetic connectors that have been mentioned an easy way to prevent it happening is to mark the top of the micro connector with paint or tape so you know which way up it is
