Some Very Good News For Damaged Gimbal Boards

Lee advised he lost a port, that is no way a warranty issue.

There is no way Yuneec will swap out a camera unless its their fault. Too expensive.

The technician there is more than capable of fixing it as he has a great in depth experience of RC models. If it could be fixed it will be otherwise customer is advised accordingly and given a bill.

Don't forget its all about what the actual damage is to the board.

BTW I advised Yuneec about the tools the lady used so just maybe

 

I can appreciate her work. I used to work on Ericsson two-way trunking
radios when I worked for the Department Of Energy. After a while, we switched
over to the Motorola EDACS encrypted system. The components got even smaller.
I still do this scale of work from time to time. (Luckily, not that much anymore.)
At this scale, soldering irons aren't very useful. Most of the soldering is done with
fine jets of hot air. I admire her calmness when doing it. If I have ANY caffeine
before working on SMT components or PLCC, QFP & BGA chips, I get shaking so
bad that it's almost useless.

Some of my tools of the trade:

Notice that EVERYTHING is now lead-free. (When you see RoHS compliant on
equipment that you buy, it means that it's lead-free.) The solder is now a tin/silver/copper
or just tin/copper mix instead of the old tin/lead mixture. I like the silver stuff better
because of the way it flows but, of course, it's more expensive. It's worth it, though, when
you don't have to worry about your own work failing from using cheaper solder.
This is the flux she is using. It's not the old nasty brown paste from the old days.
It's a crystal clear semi-viscous liquid and absolutely required for this work.

If anyone has questions about the video, I'll answer them to the best of my ability.

 

Oh wow Jessa, thanks for stopping in. I am the one you did the repair for. I can say it works perfect and many HI 5"s to you for your work. I been following your blog and have learnt lots.
Perhaps you can tell us that have had the unfortunate crash into water not to use rice to dry the boards out. Think I read that on you site someplace but can't find a reason why?

She does all kinds of micro soldering. If it can be done she and her crew will get it done. Her main business is Ipad and smart phones. Email her and ask what she can do for you.
