DJI Mavic Air 2: DJI Assist 2 Not Recognizing My Drone, but Recognizing the Controller.

Wed, 29 Oct 2025 21:57:04 -0700

I was wondering if anyone has ran into a problem with the DJI Assist 2 Software not recognizing the Mavic Air 2 Drone, but it recognizes the controller. I tried using multiple different cables and different computers. As I was inspecting the Drone's Type C port some of the pins appear to be slightly discolored, Has anyone replaced just the Type C Port or do you have to replace the entire motherboard? Any help will me much 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 Mavic Air 2: How to separate air 2s lens module from CCD board?

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:38:09 -0700

I've got an air 2s camera whose autofocus motor is not functioning properly. Everything else about the camera (and of the gimbal) works fine - calibration is good, everything. Just that the autofocus motor click-click-clicks upon startup and it is most of the time is unable to focus on anything.

I have sourced a new lens component (the thing with the optics and the autofocus motor and related electronics). The thing is, I cannot figure out how to separate the CCD board (which contains the sensor) from the old/bad lens component. I've tried prying in different ways but I really don't want to break the CCD board. I was wondering if anyone on the forum knows how these two parts are attached and how I can separate them. It may be that we're just talking about some glue that I need to heat up to separate, but I'd like to consult with those in the know before giving it a go.

Can anyone who has experience describe how the CCD board on the back of the camera module attaches and can be separated from the lens and lens housing?
