Once again. When you said the part 96 must be installed with new motors what do you mean under new? Freshly installed new or new generation. I have Phantom 3 Pro and I need to replace center board, all my motors are ok. So, which part should I buy? Thank you very much for your time. Your advice will help.
Oleg Osadchyi some of the older model Pro & Advance units had different motors. If you have the old style motors, Part 96 is not for you unless you change to the new style motor.
just FYI I have the old version and the box you refer to that is metal on the new version is also metal on my part 33 board. or at least it's silver and shiny!
Great Video! I was given a crashed P3P (old version) turned out to have a bad IMU. Will be replacing the ESC with new board soon. Did you have to activate new board and were there any issues with Firmware?
Great video! Thanks. What about the serial number of your Phantom after replacing the center board? It will be different. Do you know, where on the center board the serial is stored? Can one change the serial in any way? Thanks for reply.
The original ESC on my P3P had glue strips to secure the wires to it so the solder joints don't vibrate loose. Did you re-glue the wires to the ESC? If not, why?
pucksterx2 I did not reglue. If you can solder properly, there should be no reason for the solder joints to vibrate loose. Also the wires snap into cutouts on the PCB keeping them from moving.
Great video! I wanted to ask you if there is a way to fix the OFDM and Compass connectors(the actual mounted housing for the plug). I broke mine while taking the housing off. I hope i can solder on replacements but cant find them because I can't find part numbers from Dji or from anywhere else. Am I forced to buy a new board?
My guess is you will need a new board. Unless you can find the parts on Mouser.com. These things are not proprietary in any way. These are common electronic board interfaces. I believe these are called board to board & mezzanine connectors. I checked my old board and the GPS jack is 5 conductor. Even if you find it, you will be hard pressed to be able to cleanly solder those to the tabs.
Maybe 2 hours max. Not sure about the P3S. The important thing at the time of filming was which motors you have. That would determine whether you needed Part 96 (new style motors 2312A) or Part 33(old style motors)
hello friend, my p3 pro had a fall and this fall after the same is co whistling, not communicating with the dji go app and not connecting the motors, which can be?
on my P3A I have esc error but I have the motors that look like a crown. Also my P3A didn't start with that esc error until I replaced the body shell & was extremely careful doing so. if I get a new/used board whats gonna be different when I take it apart again ? because it didn't start with this esc error until I replaced the body shell.... Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Aaron - Just replacing a shell will not cause any ESC errors unless you damaged something on the board when removing & replacing the board and the jumpers. I would look again at all the jumpers and re-seat everything. If you are still receiving ESC errors, then something is wrong with the board. Regarding the motors: what you describe sounds like the old motors. In this case you would need to get the ESC board for those. Otherwise, if you get the new ESC board, then you would need to also replace all four motors to the new style.
Apply the tip of the soldering device to the pad to heat up the pad, then apply a small amount of solder. Create a small puddle on the pad. Then apply some solder to the wire that you want to affix. Once that is complete, reheat the puddle and stick.the wire on. Everything should adhere nicely. Make sure you are using a very fine tip on the soldering device. Hope this helps.
Cool, I crashed my p3a, one motor doesn't work anymore with an error message says motor obstruct, I tried a new motor, but everything still remains the same. So I guess must be the esc problem. Is changing the center board the only option?
TristanModel I dont believe so. generally you will see an ESC error with the need to change the board. I would look first at the tablet/phone apps. Maybe try removing one app to see if it allows you to connect. over the past year or so. there has been many reports of no connectivity if you are using a third party app with DJI Go also installed on your device.
