Hi everyone, you're on HowFixit. In this video guide, I'll show you how to replace the joystick
on DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller Model RC231. This controller comes with drones such as
Mavic Air 2, Air 2S, Mavic 3, Mini 2, and Mini 3 Pro.
To disassemble DJI RC-N1 Remote Controller you'll need the following tools:
Screwdriver set with Phillips 1, Phillips 2, Hex 1.5, Torx T5 screwdriver
Tweezers
Plastic pry tools Metal spudger
Also, I recommend using a magnetic mat during the repair process, which is
especially useful in the case of the DJI RC-N1 remote controller. Throughout this disassembly,
keep track of each screw so you can put them back in the right places - this will help successfully
reassemble your DJI remote controller model RC231. And don't worry about losing any of screws,
all of them will definitely remain on the magnetic mat. In the description,
I left links where to buy all the necessary tools.
Let's start disassembling the DJI RC-N1 remote controller.
Remove the two screws on the bottom of the controller where the joystick storage slot is
located and on the top of the controller, the two screws are hidden under the rubber tabs.
Let's move on to opening the remote controller housing.
Place the fingertips of both hands on the top of the controller housing and begin
to open the case, separating the front and back panels.
Now there is a gap through which it will be easier to open the controller body. Take a metal spudger,
which is the most suitable tool in this case, and proceed to open the controller.
To remove the controller joystick cap,
turn off the screw inside the cover with a Torx T5 screwdriver.
