It only had a cannot take off error due to the arm.

I professionally replaced the front left arm. when soldering I made sure to do it very quickly to not heat up the ESC board.

I put it back together gently.

When booting it back up, I was encountered with multiple gimbal errors

• Gimbal stuck. Make sure gimbal cover is removed and
• manually check whether gimbal can rotate freely (Code:⏎
  1d010002)⏎
  Gimbal error. Restart aircraft (Code: 1dOc0003;⏎
  1dOc0004; 1d0e0001

Nothing was done to the gimbal during the repair, but I went through the gimbal took it apart tested the PTZ coax cable, it tested fine. Checked the gimbal motors. Even doing a DJI factory test by wiggling parts of the wire and physically inspected lines, all good

When booting the drone back up for the first 5 to 10 seconds the gimbal seems fine. Then suddenly goes limp and is unresponsive. I rebooted and tried again and then it seemed fine. Then I rebooted again and it went back to being limp after a few seconds.

I did a IMU compass Calibration. Updated the firmware refreshed the firmware. Factory reset the drone. When trying to calibrate using DJI assistant, it stops at 10%.  Physical inspection shows everything is fine the buckles, the connectors, the boards don’t seem to have any burn marks. Check for resistance on the gimbal motors. Everything seems in order.

What can I do next?

Hi,

I was inquisitive to see which GPS module DJI used for this model, so I removed the shield. This disturbed a few components, as can be seen in the image, and didn't show the GPS chip.

Does any one know which way round the component bottom right should be or what it is?

I hope you find it interesting, but I suspect it may never work again.

P.S. I looked closer at the component, but it's not clear. Here's what I think it says on it: ASAXAF K61444T

P.P.S. When I removed the GPS shield, I used a pin in the small hole, which slid some components off.

I've just found that the shield is magnetic, so I could have used a magnet.

NOTE: BEWARE OF MAGNETIC COMPONENTS BEING ALSO LIFTED!
