DJI Mini 3: DJI Mini 3 top shell stuck and getting damaged during removal

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 18:35:38 -0700

I am trying to remove the top shell of my DJI Mini 3 to retrieve a screw that fell inside. I've been following the repair guide using plastic opening tools, but the clips are extremely tight and won't release. The plastic housing is starting to get damaged/chewed up from my attempts. Is there a specific starting point or a trick to popping these clips without damaging the drone? I'm stuck on Step 1 of the shell removal. Any advice would be appreciated!

DJI Mini 3: Errors on mini 3 after repairs

Wed, 06 May 2026 10:30:32 -0700

I recently got a DJI mini 3 with a broken front left arm. These are all the repairs I have done and the state of the drone after each:

Replaced front left arm
- Broke GPS ribbon cable
- Small plastic cube came off the gimbal cable
Replaced GPS ribbon cable with one from a M4p
- Now flies
- Gimbal stuck error (yaw/roll don't move, but all axes move manually)
Replaced gimbal cable with one from a M4p
- Damaged pitch motor ribbon cable during disassembly, replaced arm and motor with one from a M4p
- Gimbal is now detached from the drone
- No errors, gimbal moves when held
Reattached gimbal
- Gimbal does not move, no video feed
- Tons of errors (see pictures)

I'm confused by the downward vision sensor error. I didn't mess with anything but the gimbal after I got it working while detached other than to try and address these issues.
