DJI Mini 3: DJI Mini 3 top shell stuck and getting damaged during removal

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 18:35:38 -0700

I am trying to remove the top shell of my DJI Mini 3 to retrieve a screw that fell inside. I've been following the repair guide using plastic opening tools, but the clips are extremely tight and won't release. The plastic housing is starting to get damaged/chewed up from my attempts. Is there a specific starting point or a trick to popping these clips without damaging the drone? I'm stuck on Step 1 of the shell removal. Any advice would be appreciated!

DJI Mavic Air 2: Jello/gimbal motor overloaded/off center camera

Sat, 23 May 2026 15:48:34 -0700

I have a Mavic air 2 with a few issues after a crash, all related to the camera gimbal.

Before repair:

Jello (tried new OEM props, no effect)
After flying away for a couple minutes, error 40003 (gimbal motor overloaded) would appear
Footage looked fine besides the jello, but previous owner reported the gimbal would sometimes tilt as well
Gimbal looked slightly damaged, but everything was intact and all axes rotated freely, both manually and when stabilising the camera

Repair:

Replaced gimbal (including mounting board and dampers), but kept the original camera module and cables which did not look damaged
Recalibrated gimbal using python

Issues after repair:

Jello (even before arming, which I didn't know was possible)
Error 40003 soon after powering on, much sooner and more consistently than before
Gimbal is tilted and not centered
DJI fly gimbal calibration stops at 10%
Error 40011 (gimbal calibration failure) (I believe this is normal after using the python method to calibrate the gimbal, but it should still be fully functional)

DJI Mini 3 Pro: DJI Mini 3 Pro motherboard - Burnt "AUM" IC identification and surrounding component values

Wed, 06 May 2026 21:44:46 -0700

I am working on a DJI Mini 3 Pro motherboard that has a burnt IC. The chip is marked with "AUM", which I believe is a Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) MP2276GD step-down regulator.

The damage is quite severe and has affected the surrounding pads and traces. I am looking for a schematic, boardview, or a high-resolution reference photo of this specific area to identify the values of the nearby capacitors and resistors that were also damaged.

Has anyone successfully repaired this rail or can provide a partial schematic/pinout for this "AUM" chip on the Mini 3 Pro board? Any help with component values in this area would be greatly appreciated.

DJI Mavic Mini: DJI Mavic Mini IMU calibration "Start" button not working/greyed out

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 20:16:37 -0700

I'm experiencing an IMU error on my DJI Mavic Mini. When I navigate to the 'Safety' -> 'Sensor' -> 'IMU' -> 'Calibration' menu in the DJI Fly app, the 'Start' button is visible but completely unresponsive (it won't click or is greyed out).

Current setup:

- DJI Fly App version: 1.20.0

- Aircraft Firmware: 01.00.0600 (latest version)

- Battery level: Above 50%

- Surface: Flat and level

- Arms: Folded in

I have already tried restarting the drone, controller, and app multiple times. I have also tried the correct power-on sequence (controller then drone). What could be preventing the calibration from starting? Is this a known software bug with this app version, or does it indicate a total hardware failure of the IMU chip on the motherboard?
