DJI: Aircraft bound to another account….

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 16:52:58 -0700

Hi,

I purchased a Mavic Air 2S from EBay but I’m getting an error on the DJI Fly app that says

“Aircraft bound to another account. Change account and try again.”

I tried to reach the seller and no response. Is it possible to “unbind” the Air 2S from the previous owners DJI account?

DJI Mavic Pro: Where I can buy a service repair manual for the dji mavic pro

Tue, 31 Mar 2026 20:22:43 -0700

Crashed my mavic for the first time. Accidently hit the return home button and panicked. Long story short hit a tree and fell 30 feet. Gimbal is erratic and front vision sensor error. Just wondering if there was a service/ repair manual to refer during the repair.

I disassembled it to see the problem, and its the motors. Now it could either be the motors as suspected or it could be the wires being damaged but I don't want to be to hasty.

DJI Mini 3 Pro: Extreme water damage guidance

Mon, 16 Feb 2026 13:26:59 -0700

I just bought a DJI mini 3 pro that turns out to have severe water damage (it's a little complicated, but I'm not too disappointed). Shockingly, it mostly works (no errors, only the rear right motor has a little more resistance than the rest so it can't quite fly); the previous owner didn't even know it was water damaged. It's been at least a week since it got wet, likely much longer. I'm going to follow this tutorial to clean off the motherboard, replace the ESC entirely, and probably follow the same steps for the camera module (is this safe?). However I have a couple questions:

What is that white stuff? It seems to have been used to glue some of the connectors, but whoever did this obviously didn't actually fix the water damage.
Should I do anything extra/differently because it's been corroding so long?
Can I do anything for the motors (flight and gimbal)?
Are there any listings for the thermal paste on amazon that could arrive quicker with prime? I couldn't find any.

ArduPilotMega (APM): Can't arm via remote and once armed I can't take off

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 08:26:02 -0700

If I'm connected to the apm 2.8 via usb I can arm via my remote, but if I'm not connected the motors will not arm. Also once armed and disconnected from the computer, the quad will not take off. I have switched the propellers, synced the escs, what can I do to remedy this?

DJI Phantom 3 Pro: Wire to board connector

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 14:14:56 -0700

For the camera gimbal, there's a gray 8pin wire-to-board connector which broke. I don't want to buy the whole cable set IF370-007-1, and also it's out of stock - but maybe someone can tell me the exact part number of the white connector case. The crimps are all still intact.

DJI Mini 2: Why won't my camera work even after I repaired it

Tue, 10 Feb 2026 17:11:09 -0700

I crashed my drone, and the camera wire attached to it broke as well as the gimbal holder. I repaired the gimbal holder just fine, no problem there. When i fixed the camera flat wire and closed the drone back up, the camera would not connect when powered on. It still flies, but the camera wont show on the phone.
