Hi all, im coming back to this thread After a long time. In the meantime I bought a Mavic Pro with DJI careplus, so in my free time i’ve been busy with that. Anyway, the mystery is solved, and I just wanted to post it for potential other people with the same issues. So like I metioned in my...

That is unfortunate! These things are fragile and expensive to repair so I get that you want to build them yourself. I've also spent a lot on DJI parts so far. Next time I get a DJI, i'll make sure it has obstacle avoidance and I believe there is something like a crash insurance option you can...

Sorry for the late reply. Been too busy to spend time on repairs. But youre right i'm going to try to place the old card on the new mainboard and hopefully that solves the 'activate aircraft' issue for me. Ill post here if and how the issue is resolved. Is your phantom fully repaired?

I wonder, did you transfer the small SD card thats on the mainboard? I didn't know if I should do that and so I kept the card that was on the new board. I bet there's flight data and what not stored on there. And maybe it wouldve worked better if I transfer my old card to the new board... Good...

That kinda sounds like the same problem I have. A replaced mainboard, a broken gimbal, and then not being able to activate the aircraft. So, I still dont know If you should be able to fly the phantom with a broken gimbal. But I still hope that that is the problem. I'm hoping to receive the...

Hi Doug, Thats unfortunate. What parts did you replace, and when did it prompt that it needs an activation? I have been busy, and haven't had the time to continue troubleshooting sadly. I ordered a flat cable this afternoon to repair the gimbal next week. I hope that solves it... Is your...

Yeah, the problem is it wont present a activation screen anymore. My next step is to fix the gimbal and hope that the aircraft 'validates' it 100% again and will provide me with an option to activate(register) it again. At least then I can also chat further with DJI support because everything is...

Ok, but to install firmware on the phantom, the phantom must be able to acces the SD in the gimbal right? So thats not possible right now. Ill hope to fix this soon. Thanks for the suggestions tho.

But really right now what I want to do is activate the aircraft.. Should be simple right? :-(

Yeah thats the problem, you cant acces the SD card when the gimbal is disconnected..

Hi! And thanks for your reply. I've been fiddling with it last night. And i'm a bit further now. I've relinked the RC with the Phantom 3 4K succefully. Thats great because it wasnt linked anymore, and now it is! Then when I wanted to take off, it shows an alert: Activate aircraft. So basicly...

Yeah maybe, but do you know how to do this? It doesnt prompt a message that says its a new aircraft, or that I have to register it.

Thanks i'm going to try these steps.

Hi all! Thanks for reading this. I've had a crash with my Phantom 3 4K model. It hit a tree and came down from about 15 meters. The battery also flew out and is a total loss sadly. When we examined the drone for damage we decided to replace the following parts since they had visible damage...
