In this video, I go step by step on how to disassemble, replace, and reassemble the DJI FPV drone to replace the front arm assembly. It's not completely necessary to remove the fan or GPS module. I prefer to since it's only a couple extra steps and ensures the components won't be damaged when doing the rest of the repair.

Great video! Everything you need to know to fix a broken arm. *Pro Tip* - Everytime you take a set of fasteners out, place them in a organizer (like a tackle box) and write down the timestamp of the video when he shows you how to take fasteners out. This way you don't mix them up and you know exactly where they go.

Thanks for creating this, had my first proper crash and this was invaluable. For anyone struggling to get the wires through the arm, I used a length of solder as a guide and taped the wires to it (didn't manage to do all 5 at once so did the antenna & LED then 3 motor wires).

Thanks for the video! I was able to replace my broken front right arm of DJI fpv by following your instruction. However: in my opinion, you don't need to remove the GPS module to replace the arm. I was trying to remove the GPS but was unable to do it because of the broken small bolt on the GPS. But luckily without removing the GPS module, I still could replace the front arm. Also, I do think, that we could possibly do it without removing the gimbal at all. Removing the sensor is a must though.

@ReubenMRU 2 года назад

The video is very helpful to give a boost of confidence... SO BIG THANKS FOR THAT! However, i found that i didn't have to even remove the camera... Just the top plastic canopy, the rear plastic plate, the rear heat sink and side metal covers over the antennae wires.... once both antenna wires are unplugged, no need to unsolder the motor of the rear arm either... just slide it up, there's enough space to reach the wires with tweezers from the inside and pull them out... So far so good... now i'm in the process of glueing the broken arm - given that I'm on a remote island, i would have to wait 3 weeks or more to get the spare parts... looking for my torn antenna wire from a hobby shop... hopefully they'll be able to make one for me... they asked that i bring my connectors from the torn wire... AS for glueing, i'm gonna super glue it in place, then use some Epoxy to fill in the gaps... leave it 24 hours... then assemble AND lastly wrap some fibre glass cloth around it ... hopefully that'll hold XD

Thanks it was really helpfull. In my case it was the Middle frame that broke near the arm. I think i made a mistake tough, most of the screws are mixed up. Is there a way to be sure to put the right screw at the right place

@TRONCATFPV 2 года назад

unfortunately I think screw placement is something that needs to be tracked during disassembly. I have been using a rubber mat that has numbered slots to put screws. its perfect for when you have to work on something with alot of screws like this.

During reassembly im having a problem with the antenna cables. The two antennas that are connected to the side of the body as a sticker, the ads antenna, do those two connect to the top of the gps? And the other two black antenna wires, i believe from the front arms, do they go to the main board next to the rear antenna wires?

mine was killed by a bird both front arms snapped and my gimble broke, its been like 3 months i haven't gotten to repairs yet and this video helps a lot

@scratchmyitchytesticles7844 2 года назад

On my quad DJI was nice enough to fill the hex heads of the main screws holding the arms (The large screw accessed from the battery compartment) with silicone so the silicone has to be removed from the screw head in order to get a hex driver on the screw to remove it. 2 out of the 4 screws (one on each arm) were filed with silicone which makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Another little issue, all the arms have antennas and antenna wires. The wires are shielded coaxial cables. The connectors fall off fairly easily if not already separated in a crash. If you fix and reuse the cable I suggest you test the cable to be sure there is continuity (ohm it out) and no shorts before putting the entire quad back together.

Wow, I’m glad I didn’t run into any silicone in the screw heads when disassembling. What a headache lol

@scratchmyitchytesticles7844 2 года назад

@@TRONCATFPV The silicone wasn't as bad as the 2 led wires I accidently cut. Now I'm waiting on a new led cable.

@spoonblender797 2 года назад

Yeah mine has silicon in the screw heads too, I think it's meant to be some kind of warranty seal.

@Editer38738 2 года назад

Hey would you replace a arm for me if I paid you? I'm not going to even try it myself but I'd sure pay someone pretty good to do it for me?

Fantastic job - it’s just convinced me too send mine in .yesterday I crashed and broke all 4 motor mounts Arms are fine just the mounts.?

@TRONCATFPV 3 года назад

I dont blame you, it is kind of a headache to do all this work just to replace the arms. Glad it helped!

@s0undwave78 2 года назад

Hey man. Great video. I've got the same issue and unfortunately one of the motor cables has snapped and also I think the ufl cable too. You bought a replacement ufl. What size and spec did you get.? Any links to where can buy or info be much appreciated. Thanks

@TRONCATFPV 2 года назад

Thanks! Here is a link to the ufl cable I bought. It’s 200mm long and an exact fit www.sparkfun.com/products/15114

I have a question about the first screw you removed on the GPS module at 7:18 on the video. The attachment on my drone is not a Phillips head screw. In fact it a solid attachment and I can't figure out how to get it out. Please help!

@gonzafpv2843 Год назад

Hello troncat I have the same problem with antenna cable but with the rear arm. I could splice the antenna cable ?(i have another antenna cable that the connector is fine) In mi country is difficult to get spares from outside, any solution to this? Thanks!

It drives me NUTS when people have junk in their nails or long fingernails and do technical stuff with their hands on video. It gets way too distracting lol

@djwak59 Год назад

Oh man ! Awesome. Thanks for this video. I just bought one of these and have heard some horror stories about the arms breaking off. You made it look easy, but also, it looks like if you take your time with it, anyone should be able to do their own repair. Did you video this as you were doing it ? How did you keep all the parts and steps straight ? Do you have any other videos on this drone ?? Thanks so much for posting !

@TRONCATFPV Год назад

Yea I just filmed this video as I went, it was the first time tearing apart the drone haha.
