DJI Mini 3 common repair issues

Based on customer reports and repair data, here are the most common DJI Mini 3 repair issues:

Most Frequent Problems:

• Gimbal connection failures - Similar to your Mini 2, ribbon cable damage from crashes or wear causes "gimbal stuck" errors and loss of camera control
  
  

• Motor arm breaks - Impact damage from hard landings or crashes requires complete arm assembly replacement.
  

• Propeller screw loosening - Frequent flights cause screws to work loose, leading to vibration and potential propeller loss

• Front arm axis hinge wear - The Folding mechanism becomes loose or breaks over time with regular use

                                               Less Common but Notable Issues:

• 
  
  
  Shock absorption damper failure - Camera shake and poor stabilization from worn rubber dampeners

• IMU calibration problems - Often related to internal ribbon cable damage affecting sensors
  

• Battery connection issues - Loose contacts affecting power delivery and flight performance

CrashRelated Damage:

• Multiple motor arms get damaged simultaneously
  
  
• Gimbal ribbon cable severed.

• Camera lens or gimbal housing cracks

• Landing gear or body shell damage

NOTE: The Mini 3 shares similar ribbon cable vulnerabilities with the Mini 2.
