Mavic Air IMU overheats during calibration (Error 13)

[Daniel-]

Hi everybody,

I am receiving the IMU calibration error 13 and I am stuck on step 1. It never crashed just wasn’t flown over the winter.
I already tried the following:

• put an ice pack on it during calibration
• Put it in the freezer an then started the calibration
• Gave it a few taps on the back
• Factory reset
• Reinstalled the app
• Removed the imu, gave it a few taps and installed it again

Do you have any ideas how to fix this issue?

I also searched for a replacement IMU but only found ones for the air 2 or air 2s. Are those compatible with the air 1?

Is the fan operating as it should?

After a few seconds it turnes on. So i guess it’s working as it should

Direct the output of an external fan over it and see if that helps. I would also suggest seeing if you can feel or detect with a candle flame etc. any draught coming from the drone's fan, i.e. could its vent/s be blocked?

 

[Daniel-]

i think its working. I can feel some draught.

Seems obvious, but have you tried just normally calibrating the IMU? Without ice or anything on it.

 

[Daniel-]

yes, every time I try to calibrate normally, I am stuck on step 1 and after a few minutes I receive the error 13 ( IMU Overheated )

I’m having the same problem, stuck on step 1, tried everything.. you find any solutions?
