Hi everyone and welcome to HowFixit, in this video, I will show you how to disassemble
the Dji Mavic Mini drone to replace any of the broken parts
For example, your quadrocopter fell and crashed, so this video guide will help you to repair
the Mavic Mini
To disassemble the drone Dji Mavic Mini you will need the following tools:
Phillips 1 screwdriver Tweezers
Plastic tools In the description I left links where to buy
all the necessary tools and spare parts for the Mavic Mini
Before you start to disassemble, remove SD card and the battery from the drone
Take a Phillips screwdriver and remove 4 screws on the bottom of the drone
Now move on to removing the top cover of the drone body
I recommend using a plastic tool, because the Mavic Mini case is plastic and can easily
be damaged
Open the housing evenly and slowly so as not to damage the internal latches
The cover is removed and, as you see, it can be easily replaced, in the description left
a link where to buy a new one for replacement
Next, remove another 2 screws and remove the bottom cover
Pull this cover very carefully, it is held by latches from the inside
As you can see, one latch broke during removal, but this is not critical
On the radiator there is a warranty seal on one screw, if you damage this seal, you will
lose the warranty
But if your drone crashes and broken, and you do not have an extended guarantee, then
this seal doesn't matter
Remove the 3 screws and remove the radiator
There is light blue thermal grease on the main board and on the back of the radiator
Without this thermal paste, the quadrocopter will overheat, so try not to wipe this thermal
paste
Let's begin to disconnecting the cables from the main board
The connectors of these cables glued to the board, this is done for rigidly fixing the
cables
This hot melt adhesive can be carefully removed with tweezers, but be very careful not to
scratch the main board with tweezers
In order to avoid damage, you can warm the hot melt glue with a hairdryer, it will be
easier
to remove it
Disconnect the cables and antennas from the main board
Now you can get the main board from the case of the drone
I left a link in the description where to buy a new main board for
the Dji Mavic Mini
Let's begin to the removal of the GPS module
If your Dji Mavic Mini lose GPS signal or reports error “Code 30002” indicating
a weak GPS signal and unstable positioning, may be the problem in GPS module.
In the description I left links to new GPS module
Now begin to the removal of the camera module with stabilization, or as it is called - Gimbal
The gimbal holds on by rubber mounts, they are very easy to remove, but for this you
will need tweezers with sharp ends
Remove the 2 screws on the camera module and disconnect the cable
OK, now you can remove and replace the camera module
In the description I also left link to the new camera module for the Dji Mavic Mini
If this cable connecting the camera and the mainboard is damaged when your quadrocopter
crashes, you also can remove and replace this cable
The cable is glued in three places to the case, so you can easily remove it, but the
new cable also needs to be glued to these places on case
This is an ESC board to which soldered wires from quadrocopter motors
Replacing this board may be necessary if your drone reports ESC error, which is NOT solved
by replacing the quadcopter motor (note that you may need to replace the motor again, as
sometimes the original damaged ESC board may damage the new motor).
If the motor arm was broken when the quadcopter fell, then you will need to unsolder these
wires from the ESC board
The front hand of the motor is removed quite simply, remove two screws... turn the drone
and push the lock out
It remains only to unsolder the three wires from the ESC board and replace it with a new one
How to replace a hand with a motor, I’ll make a separate video, but in any case I’ll
leave a link to replaceable parts in the description
When you reinstalling the latch, be sure that this does not interfere with the cable inside
the drone’s hand
Now moving on
to reassembling the Dji Mavic Mini
So, now drone is assembled and you can check it
The drone connects, the camera works, now it's time to go outside and check how the
drone flies
Well guys, my Dji Mavic Mini flies perfectly, camera stabilization works, the GPS signal
does not disappear, and I think at this stage, repair is completed
I wish you safe flights and not to fall
You were on HowFixit and see you guys next time
