Mavic gimbal problem?

[Stefan350]

So, I haven't flown my Mavic since July. I got it out today and after finishing a few updates, noticed the "gimbal obstructed" error. I tried restarting it few times and nothing would clear. Auto calibration gets hung up at 5-10% every time. I've only flown this Mavic maybe 5-10 times since I had and never have crashed it.

Just wondering if anyone know a fix or gone through a similar problem?

Update.

I sent in the Mavic and had to pay $133 for the repair. New flat cable $13 + $65hr labour charge 2x.

I only had the Mavic for 8 months and had to pay out of pocket since that part is only covered for 6 months.

I received the supposed repaired Mavic today. After inspecting, I noticed it’s a brand new Mavic. Bumper stickers still on, no wear on the rear landing gear and completely new serial number!

So, why the hell did they charge me for labour if nothing was repaired?

it'll be a reconditioned one
They will repair your old one at their leisure

Upon setting up it’s asking me to activate the Mavic.

So does that mean I can buy DJI refresh?

You can get refresh but you can at any time you just have to prove its still flies ok after the initial period they say
