Good Site for Phantom Parts

I want to share this with the group.

I Just had to replace the USB port/cable on my P2V+, and found this site.
Good prices, fast delivery. The cable was $6.95.

Good info, thanks

On your sig, you should have "Gravity is not just a good idea. It's the law." It would fit well. ;-)

I believe they are all genuine dji parts.

Reshelling my P2v3 I had a hell of a time installing the USB port. Fat fingers! Need I say more

 

[CapnBob]

It was a bit of a PITA. I have a pair of long tweezers that help placing the tiny screws.

 

[Iain Kenworthy-Neale]

I poked it thru the hole and connected a USB lead to give me something to hold whilst I got the first screw in. Still a dam fiddle though.

LOL you guys are hilarious.
that's why you install the USB connector FIRST when re-shelling
i learned that on about 2nd or 3rd... but now that i've done close to 500 it's natural

 

[CapnBob]

I wasn't reshelling, hunch, just replacing the USB (with as little disassembly as possible). I probably should order a shell, though. I noticed that stress cracks are getting worse.

oh ok, yeah then i can see it being a little difficult to replace. what i do is take the 4 screws out that hold the main board in and then you can move the mainboard a little bit to the side and have better access to it.

 

[CapnBob]

That's what I did, but of course, you've got that idiotic WiFi module mounting to contend with to remove all the m.b. screws.
