Hello , always wanted a drone and foolishly bought a used Mavic Pro without a controller . Well ordered a new controller and found that I couldn't calibrate the imu , kept getting error code 71 & 1, which as I understood to be an accelerometer issue, so I purchased a new IMU and installed it . Now Im getting error code 72 & 1 . Does anyone know what this code means ? And yes I have done factory reset , updated firmware and put in freezer methods .
If any one has had this problem , I need HELP !!!!! PLEASE
Thanks

Does your IMU screen show any data errors ?

Just wanted to give an update on my IMU problem . First I would like to thank lannes for your help ! I noticed while i was doing an IMU calibration ( which failed ) on my Mavic Pro , the gimble was moving side to side like it was searching . So I decided to to a gimble calibration which also failed.
While reading in the forums some where talking of gimble problems due to a bad sd card . I thought it can't hurt . So I installed a new sd card and the gimble calibration worked. Then I did the IMU calibration and it worked the first time . Took the MP for a test flight and it flew perfectly . It just goes to show you that its not always a major problem , sometimes its something simple like a sd card . So anyone having problems with the gimble and IMU calibration , try the sd card.
I would like to thank everyone for the valuable information in this forum

Good pick up on the SD card, it’s strange with DJI that so many problems are caused by the SD card design/setup, it has been also responsible for many connect/ disconnect issues as well which doesn’t seem very logical.
