Yes! Do more things like drones and stuff. Metal detectors, electric scooters. 1 wheels!!! This stuff is all expensive and should be easy for you. You are a pro at this stuff which help me fix my stuff 😂
I try to do some stuff outside of game consoles but many times those videos don't get viewed as much so I don't do them very often. I'll still do some periodically though.
Unfortunately you can't swap gimbals, motherboard and GPS/IMU unit within drones. It's all paired with SN together. You only can swapp arms, 3 in 1 cable (flex in mini series that goes to Gimbal, GPS/IMU, compass and MB) video cable in gimbal and ESC board. If you are changing arms put it in the middle (fiddle between open and unopened state and make it stay there by itself) and push mechanism by pin from the other side. Same story with Air 2 drone. In DJI FPV it's whole another story, there you can fiddle around with them more. If you want them to be repaired the best thing is to send them to DJI. It's cheap and fast, and they have tools to do SN change on the paired parts I was repairing DJI drones for about 1y but DJI went with SN paired route and for now it's not worth it. On the internet there were a community app for paring and calibration of gimbals, but i don't know if it's working anymore.
Great job on the fixes! I’ve done a few DJI’s as well, very satisfying! Absolutely need to connect these to a controller and the DJI Fly app to fully test though. That’s usually my first step, since the drone can be fixed 100% but still not fly if it has been registered or “bound” to a DJI account, bricking it. Little use in fixing a drone that can’t fly. This is checked by going back to the main screen > profile > device management. The only way a bound DJI drone flies is if it uses the same linked controller that was used when initially bound. No way to link the bound drone to another controller. The other reason for connecting to a controller/app is that the drone will self-diagnose errors making the list of needed repairs more clear.
Of any channel I’ve watched on UA-cam, I’d say this one is probably the best all-around. The premise is basically, YOU can fix whatever you want. It’s informative, it’s instructive and the creator is self taught and extremely persistent. The editing is top notch as well. It’s just a tremendous channel. Can’t say it enough.
Interesting fixes. That epoxy holding the wires can be removed a lot easier with some heat... use your heat tool to soften it up and it'll come right off. Those grey cables are U.FL (UMCC).
Waiting on part 2!! A friend sent me 2 drones like those. I dabble in electronics fixing, the drones I have had a issue with the sensors, I cleaned the drones with good ol alcohol. As for the thermal paste, I had a dead Xbox one x so I used the blue paste on it. Did the trick. So far it flies fine!
I just got what I'm calling my first "real" drone a few weeks ago (DJI Mini 3 Pro), and I've already had to replace one of the hinge/shaft assemblies on a front arm - I know they're an intentional failure point (instead of the frame or arms themselves), but it's still ~$18 to source. Amazing what a drop from 2 feet into grass will do. :)
I recently tried my luck with 2 parts of repair Xbox elite controllers for on eBay and surprisingly both of them were flawless condition and had no problems
Great content you always keep us interested in your videos. I look forward to seeing your next videos. Again congratulations 🎉🎉 to you fixing the Drone's to keep them out of the Landfills.
You can fix broken drone arms in a pinch with super glue and baking soda. It's a light weight, strong, fast curing bond. The way its applied matters though, so make sure to practice before doing it on something you care about.
Interesting! I can't help but wonder if the gimbal and thereby cameras are somehow connected to the down facing sensors, possibly through the same video processing??
@@Tronicsfix I saw that,you seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly! For bottom sensor issues,it's usually the 3-1 flat cable,or the PTZ camera cable
Amazing what you did fixed those... You seem knowledge all kind electronics device and those .. that's amazing what you did... thank for sharing. It's enjoy watch what you taught us to watch and learned... that's awesome... :)
Amazing video Steve, great work. How would you rate the repairability of these mavic drones? Shame about the gimble, I've had easy fixes on cars before that i started off with the most complex instead of trying the most obvious lol. Live and learn.
@@Tronicsfix Yea doesn't look too bad, surprised and also glad they're not glued together for water proofing but then you'd never repair em without breaking em.
Super nice video and something new. I would like to see a video just with the water damaged one. Who know what can be saved. I am a person who try and try and want to give a chance to the most damaged ones.
Answer for a question from last video: Do you use hands for removing ribbon or 'lego' connectors: Yes I do I have giant hands 21 cm long and 11 cm wide It is pretty useful to use hands because I am an Indian and we are not professionals :)
I'm not an expert by any means of the imagination, but my common sense dictates that IF the error with the camera's vision is happening, then it wouldn't be obvious to replace that camera instead of replacing part by part? Or it could be that you did all this to make a video! That last one makes more sense to me.....I honestly think that you are a very smart person.
Wonder if buying one like this would be better than buying a new one, as I’ve been in the market and just can’t get myself to buy one of the new mavic minis as they are pricey
And this is why serious pilots fly actual FPV drones. I use a Mini 2 for camera drone stuff(great wedding package upsell), and it's great for what it is, but you so much as look at it wrong and it breaks.
Finally, you did it! DJI drones are not very repair friendly. This would be a good candidate video for right to repair. Gimbals and other components are not replaceable and locked to specific boards. Theres also issues with binding and account unbinding. So hardware and software proprietary incompatibility.
Part 2 IS UP! ua-cam.com/video/_QZXaf6sY1Y/v-deo.html

Interesting. Thanks for the info!
Always a pleasure when TronicsFix posts a longer video!
I didn't know I wanted this video, but now part 2 is ALL I WANT
cant wait till part 2 this has been so interesting to see just how fixable drones are thanks Steve !!
Thanks! So glad you enjoyed this one.
Stripped plastic screw holes can be repaired with a little super glue or epoxy to fill out the hole. Then, you can screw the screws into that

I need to get myself a drone. Been wanting one for years. Nice video. Looking forward to part 2.
They're pretty fun!
Should get one they are such good fun
Thanks for this one, Steve. Been working on my busted drone for a bit and this gave me the extra boost I needed to finally get it fixed.
I'm only 12 minutes in, but I'm really impressed so far with how repairable these are (so far).
Interesting fixes. That epoxy holding the wires can be removed a lot easier with some heat... use your heat tool to soften it up and it'll come right off. Those grey cables are U.FL (UMCC).
Cool to see new stuff taken apart and repaired.
That was a fun watch. Looking forward to part 2
So glad you enjoyed!

Don't worry Steve, not too worried about you not putting the right amount of thermal paste!
I'm a little disappointed but I guess I can forgive him. I just hope he doesn't let it happen again.
With the release of the new mini 3, its great to see old ones getting fixed
I just got what I'm calling my first "real" drone a few weeks ago (DJI Mini 3 Pro), and I've already had to replace one of the hinge/shaft assemblies on a front arm - I know they're an intentional failure point (instead of the frame or arms themselves), but it's still ~$18 to source.

this is awesome, having own a few drones and breaking them, its nice to see somone else attempt to fix it to learn it for yourself
I recently tried my luck with 2 parts of repair Xbox elite controllers for on eBay and surprisingly both of them were flawless condition and had no problems
when I saw the topic, I stopped everything I was doing to watch! Had to... it was a must... great fix-it video!
Thanks for the awesome video! You are inspiring me to repair more and more.
Thanks! Great to hear that!
Great content you always keep us interested in your videos.
I look forward to seeing your next videos. Again congratulations 🎉🎉 to you fixing the Drone's to keep them out of the Landfills.
Obvious solution in 5, 4, 3.. had my rolling. Awesome as always!
I like the batman theme transitions
Tronics!! That error went away when you replaced the gps sensor! You just noticed it after installing the gimbal😂
Let's get some popcorn 🍿
You can fix broken drone arms in a pinch with super glue and baking soda.
It's a light weight, strong, fast curing bond. The way its applied matters though, so make sure to practice before doing it on something you care about.
Replacing the arm is a better long term fix, but if you don't want to stop flying, this trick will help keep you in the air!
I fixed my mini se with a replacement left arm, was very easy got it back flying again 👍
With the repair around 4:20 wouldn't it be simpler to clip the wires and splice them?
Oh man I loved it... can't wait for the part 2... You are such an inspiration... ❤
Drone repair is very rewarding. Great that you did a video on it, looking forward to part 2, thanks for all the repair videos!
I have no problem with you making a part two of this.
Interesting! I can't help but wonder if the gimbal and thereby cameras are somehow connected to the down facing sensors, possibly through the same video processing??
Has to be very common to have liquid damage on drones. People likely crash them all the time in ponds, lakes, ocean areas trying to take footage.
lol i keep comin back to check for part 2. addicted.
Perfect amount of thermal paste is THE reason I watch your videos. I know I can find thousands of ppl who agree with me, but i can't prove it 😇
Drone tech here
The fixes are easier then you think!!
That sounds like an awesome job! I bet these fixes are super easy for you. After my first repair of each drone it got much easier.
@@Tronicsfix I saw that,you seemed to get the hang of it pretty quickly!
For bottom sensor issues,it's usually the 3-1 flat cable,or the PTZ camera cable
Transition in 10:35 is flawless.
Very intereseting, I really enjoyed watching this kind of repair. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this video Steve, I am waiting for the part two! This is the kind of video that worth the likes for part two 🎉😂❤
Amazing what you did fixed those... You seem knowledge all kind electronics device and those .. that's amazing what you did... thank for sharing. It's enjoy watch what you taught us to watch and learned... that's awesome... :)
32:50 Bro tried to land on water 💀
You can try recalibrating the sensors - you can only do that using a PC connection through the DJI Assistant 2 suite…….
I love how much money he spends just to make us happy. Love your vids, and keep up the good work.👍❤
Not only us hahahha
This was fun and different!
So glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video Steve, great work. How would you rate the repairability of these mavic drones? Shame about the gimble, I've had easy fixes on cars before that i started off with the most complex instead of trying the most obvious lol. Live and learn.
They're actually not too bad to repair once you've done a few of them.
@@Tronicsfix Yea doesn't look too bad, surprised and also glad they're not glued together for water proofing but then you'd never repair em without breaking em.
"I don't have much experience with drones let's start with the most difficult" 😂😂 I love the confidence
Hey TronicsFix, great videos. How do you make your flux soft enough to fill your syringes?
Good vidéo, part 2 please with test outside😊🙏
Steve Can you do also a fly test,? i want too see that.👍 Good Job fix the drones.😉
"I don't have this blue stuff." Time to add to the shopping list!
Lol, yep!
can you send me some of those i want to fix them
funny i just started looking for a dji drone today, and you upload a great repair video... :D
They're some of the best out there, imo
Yes I was hoping for a part 2! Lovely
5:51 "Here's what we do to warranty stickers around here" - There's a tshirt.
Super nice video and something new. I would like to see a video just with the water damaged one. Who know what can be saved. I am a person who try and try and want to give a chance to the most damaged ones.
Great video!! Looking forward to part 2.
I have mini drone. Works great. Nice repairs 👍
The mini's are cool. So light. A little more difficult to open up but not bad once you get the hang of it.
Part 2 is taking off!
some real Drone of Theseus action going on here
Gah! Video cuts off right when you got to the drone I have. Oh well, as always I look forward to your next video!
Part 2 is coming!
We want part 2 !!!!!!
Seems like these would be great candidates for conformal coat. Or are these disposables?
Fun one! Looking forward for part 2
edits are crazy and unexpected
Answer for a question from last video:
Do you use hands for removing ribbon or 'lego' connectors:
Yes I do
I have giant hands 21 cm long and 11 cm wide

Can you give an update on the roombas that you tried to repair
Love your channel watch it every Time
I appreciate the support!
Looking at a couple of sites they are saying the downward sensor can be a firmware issue that just needs to be reinstalled via the DJI assitant
Tried that...multiple times. Didn't work
@@Tronicsfix I got ahead of myself haha. I saw it was the Gimble. I start Googling and end up missing segments of the video 🤣
Good job!! Waiting on part 2
yess finaly the drones. i was waiting for this video
Hope you like it!
@@Tronicsfix thanks
Can’t wait for part 2!
Very interesting. Can't wait part 2. Cheers from over the pond ;-) (Belgium)

Eager for part 2
Wanted to see you fly the fixed ones
Wonder if buying one like this would be better than buying a new one, as I’ve been in the market and just can’t get myself to buy one of the new mavic minis as they are pricey
Wow interesting
will wait for part 2
Great Video Steve
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed.
And this is why serious pilots fly actual FPV drones. I use a Mini 2 for camera drone stuff(great wedding package upsell), and it's great for what it is, but you so much as look at it wrong and it breaks.
Hello, where is part 2 I’ve been waiting for half a day.
Been waiting for a video about drones long time
Want part 2 video as soon as possible
It's coming!
Are you gonna do a job lot video on any console
The corrosion on that one drone was intense!
Hey bud l had the same problem with a mavric pro drone l had to plug the drone into the computer and do calibration itcworked for me
Bro I was going to just comment to say fix some drones dang 😂
Well, here you go!
I epoxied my dji spark's broken engine mount and i'm flying it for a year and it works fije
U should do some laptop next
I've got more laptop videos coming
Finally, you did it! DJI drones are not very repair friendly. This would be a good candidate video for right to repair. Gimbals and other components are not replaceable and locked to specific boards. Theres also issues with binding and account unbinding. So hardware and software proprietary incompatibility.
I was watching your old videos then you uploaded this one
Hope you like it!
Hi bro I really like your videos I've been a fan for so long i hope you post part two asap ❤️❤️
Its not obvious Steve 😅 i made the same mistake when i first got my drone
As well Steve thank you for the PS4 ebay 👍
You almost have enough working drones to make one of those cool air light shows 😂
Part two please ❤
Where do you sell the gadgets you'd have repaired,??
