I Bought 13 Broken Drones - PART 2! Here's the second video of my trying to fix several different models of drones. In this video I'm working on some Mavic Air 2 and DJI FPV drones. These are the bigger DJI drones so hopefully I can get them repaired and back to being in working order.

Thank you very much. Mr Steve you were making my Head hurt because I truly don't understand just how in the world. You remember how you took them apart. I'm always amazed at your level of experience and patience. Sir keep up the great content. I look forward to seeing your next videos. Great job.
These drone repair videos are great! It's fascinating to see how complex these things are inside. Keep them coming!
Oh man, when I saw you were attempting to fix DJI drones I immediately thought what a headache! I had an inspire 1 that broke and worked with an official DJI repair tech. They basically said their drones aren’t meant to be repaired. The labor cost + parts makes them “disposable”is what I was told. Cheaper to just buy a new one unless you can repair on your own or get it covered under warranty. Fortunately mine was under warranty for factory defect, but they do not make these easy to repair by any means. Good luck! Looks like you’re making progress!

It's interesting, because they're clearly somewhat repairable due to how modular the bits are and the lack of any Apple-style ID locking nonsense, yet they make decisions like soldering on wires rather than using connectors and using very fiddly hinge pins.

As shown here, it is repairable but it requires some skills, patience and a donor drone to do so. Unlike some phone brands, DJI at least allows for repair (so far). What you heard from the DJI repair tech is very typical tech corp behavior: make it too hard, too expensive to repair so that owners will need to replace.

I got my mavic pro by just repairing a $45 gimbal ribbon/mount. It definitely can look intimidating, but it you follow a KZread tutorial and do it with patience, it's easy enough.

Parrot is kind of the same, the Anafi (the first gen, last consumer product from them) is made with software locks on camera gimbal, so any minor damage on the camera means replacing the whole motherboard.
Always amazing to watch you work, and so inspiring! I'm all for the right to repair movement and i'm trying my best to fix my own stuff. Thank you for being so educational
Really enjoying the mix up of tech Steve! Nice to see some other stuff hitting the bench as much as i love repairing consoles thers just something great about looking into the unknown! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much for making these wonderful videos, Steve! I love them so much. Keep up the great work. I hope you have a good one.
Great fixes Steve. You had me on the edge of my seat a few times lol . I hope we get to see them flying in a video would be awesome.
I like your patience when you work! All those repairs are so relaxing to watch.
Hey steve have you got a video of them flying after been fixed, great work by the way
Good to see those dji drones making their way to you. Great job as always.
This is a great vid, Steve! Really enjoyed watching the repair process on these drones!
Nice fix.. When it comes to the DJI FPV racing drones they are, in my opinion, not designed for what they are meant to be used as. Fly enough and You WILL crash an FPV drone and when you do they should be easy to fix, not like the DJI ones that are "built like a DSLR" which makes them a pain in the rear to fix. Looking forward to part 3 when we get to see them fly :)
When I saw part 2 came out I was super excited and was not disappointed! Keep up the great work!
For the FPV, always go Main board first and build the drone around it. Makes like alot easier, I have 3 in rotation that I push pretty hard so I'm super familiar with repairs lol.
I love these drone fixes. Great to see inside them DJIs...
It's easy when you know how! Great fixes, this was awesome to watch.

Fantastic videos, I'm in the same boat, buying broken drones to fix. I have to get the gimbal parts for my broken Air 2 and also the charger and new blades. Also, the back cover of my Mini 3 pro gimbal. I wish I had that spare box of parts that you got!! Anyways, Fantastic video!!! Thanks, hope to see the part 3. Flying the drones!!
Steve i love your Videos so helpful and intresting. I just Look every singel Video of your channel and learning so mutch just by looking your Videos. Absolut fantastik Pleas go on like this 😀
Pretty cool steve makes a change from consoles realy enjoyed this series.
I am so impressed by your skills! You make me want to fix stuff
I learned a lot from this guy i really love doing things like yours especially with those drones
Lets go Steve!!!!. Been waiting for this.
The DJI FPV quad with the motor which is freaking out has a dead ESC. The board which it connects to is a 4in1 esc. Most common reason it fails is if the motor gets locked up and the drone is still trying to move the motor which causes the mosfet to stay on and then die in that state. ESCs use 6 mosfets to make a BLDC motor work. You can test the esc mosfet with a multimeter and continuity test each of the esc pads and if any stort to ground, its a dead mosfet.
Part 3 testing !
good job! it's good you have some extra unfixable drones for donor parts. now i have an urge to disassemble electronic equipments/appliances here in our house. lolz!
I'm down for more multi-part mass repair videos! The less cut out the better imo.
Enjoyed Video very much, more please!
They are very well made & complex
That FPV drone was exhausting lol
Wow, great job. I'm having flashbacks to that camera repair....
Great videos full of instructions as always, I enjoyed watching both of them. I have a tiny suggestion if possible, if you could upload your videos in 1440P or 4K that would be amazing as the parts you are repairing have so many small components that the bump in the resolution would make it easier to identify them easily. Keep it up 😊
Thanks for this videos, i liked when you used to do the cost report
Nice man. You can fix ANYTHING!!
Would love to know the cost for the replacement parts. Also, how much you paid and how much you think you could get after repairs.
It is amazing what you can do.
Oh come on...we need to see them flying Steve :)
Awesome Video tronicsfix
You should name the first video part 1. Otherwise people get confused. I sure did. Insane video as always
Great video and a lot of work but sounds like it was well worth it

For repairing broken plastic JB Weld is awesome. Fill it, drill it, and put in screws. I've used it for broken laptop hinge mounts, power ports, anything that gets stress. For the laptop hinge mounts, I layered epoxy in the with the broken parts and clamped the mounts with c clamps. I add a layer of parchment paper to keep the clamps clean. Let set, remove clamps and paper. Then drill JB through the mount, then re-screw. The hinges don't stick to the epoxy, so it makes a perfect new mount.
Really enjoyed these videos 👍

Thats a successful DJ FPV repair. Yeaa it does that weird start up thing lol. Was super weird at first for me too not going to lie lmao
Awesome video! How did you pick the replacement parts that you ordered? Based on product descriptions/pictures and best guess? Or did you wait to get them in and do an initial inspection and estimate from there? Very nice to see you working on an unfamiliar system and learning as you go. Great job!
Even though you weren't able to fix a lot of them, the ones you fixed matter, because else they would be thrown away.
Will you show a cost analysis for these drones? love the videos :)
You are genious👍👍
Does anyone else binge watch these videos in the late/early nights like I do?
Now I can't wait to find these on ebay!
Now for the drone race with Tronicswife.

Hey thanks!
For the one showing a motor stall after replacing the motor, I suspect the issue is that a mosfet has failed short in the ESC. A shorted mosfet will result in current periodically being shunted through a coil that was already carrying current on the last cycle, so too much current will flow, which the ESC will read as a stall.
Yes thanks men!!!

Hey TronicsFix, Nice job on the repairs! How do you make your flux soft enough to fill your syringes?
@Tronicsfix
Жыл бұрын
It's paste flux so I just remove the plunger and put it into the syringe with a thermal paste spreader or something similar.
Nice I got a mini pro 3
It would be cool if you added analytics. What you paid for each one, the price of replacement parts, how much time it took, and what it should be listed for (if reselling).
Damn i could do some motor arms with some patientce after watching these videos which is awesome. But it looks like i wont be fixing my DJI FPV if the frame cracks or something, or even an arm, wow they crammed a lot in that tight space lol and still with good performance and 6S. The big heatsink in the back is directly on the ESC. I am going to try a better cooling solution for my O3 Air Unit, basically treat it like a PC. I'm going to get a slim aluminum heat sink from amazon/ebay, and put it directly onto the metal plate of the Air unit, and if have the room. I have a super tiny and featherlight fan id love to install on top of that with some temp control.. There's really no reason for it to get that hot, especially when most of us have the 1/8" of room for even just a simple heatsink just glued on even.
I like working on the larger mavic drones much better. The lower end ones are really light and because of that much more likely to break while opening
8:21 the letters on the pcb their match the color that goes to the solder pad
I really want one of these drones. But man are they expensive, also easy to break.

FPV drone looked horrible to work on. Mad respect.
When you say "new arms" do u mean "New-New" or used ones? Just to know... Thanks for a great video again!
I want to see more drones repaired, maybe another brand
Where did u get your soldering kit and everything else u use
Are there people about smurf size, that assembel there things.. ? Holy moly it seems unneccesary hard.
This video is 33 minutes long, how many hours extra did you film to get this video done? So much work on these drones to get them to pieces. Did you find what was inside that motor? Was it from overheating or something else? Amazing video, thanks
I want to fix my drone, where did you get the parts from? They seem new.
Did all fly/work outside?
Where do you buy such batches? Amazon?
Did they mark the points for both the black _and_ blue wires with "B"? Actually the grey and yellow are both marked "G", which makes even less sense...
hello, where did you buy all this drone?
Mwahahahaha! Tronicsfix Wins. Droneality!

from a ps 4 expert to a drone expert😂😂
Hell ya
200$ for 13 drones is not a bad deal
1st drone, hey i could probably get into drone repair! 2nd drone, yea...nevermind.
Some motors sound funny when they are missing the propelers, as they isnt enough mass moment of inertia on them
The sheer number of screws shows that it is a good quality product.
That fan on the fpv drone makes me think it's a mini GPU
No video showing them working ?
