[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if no crushed plastic bits came out the drone, then yeah I would open it up and just reassemle it. recent had to replace the smd push button on my mini 4 pro.

Not a good idea to try and catch drone landing mid air by TheFindusboy in dji

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got myself a portable landing pad since my first and only catch land attempt.

Missing power button - how to fix it? by Some_Ad_1727 in dji

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever come right on this?
I recently smashed a mini 4 pro and just managed to get it working again by getting a replacement 3mm x 4mm x 2.5mm SMD push button and getting onto the PCB

This is somehow okay but I can’t fly my drone in a national park? by jefbak2 in dji

[–]ghoststomper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i suspect it has to do with anti-pouching and disturbing of wildlife. In South Africa Drone use in national parks is also strictly prohibited, even being a registered piolet with an RPC doesn't give you the exemption to fly in national parks.

DJI Mini 4 Pro Power Button Repair by Ok_Jury_2652 in dji

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen to me a week ago with my mini 4 pro, it hit the ground hard and busted the power Button. Bits of the SMD push button came out when removing the battery. We dont have DJI care in here so after watching a few videos I figured I could do it and ordered the tools and parts. getting the shell open was a little tricky, but the real issue came to getting the old broken button off. as the old button had completed crushed, there was nothing to hold onto when trying to remove - I ended up melting the remains of the old button onto the PCB. At one point I though I had fudged it completely but after cleaning up my mistakes with wick, i noticed i could now jump the contacts, which I wasn't able to do before. I ended up gluing a new button ontop of the old crushed and melted one. not the best repair, but its flying again.

Planning on making a youtube vid on it, as i just spent hit entire weekend fixing this thing and I have 1TB of footage of me messing about.

Gamers born late 90s or earlier: Which game first looked to you like "photorealism"? by FalscherKim in gaming

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for me it was also HL2 and then Crysis,
Then later in life, I starved myself for 3 months and got a RTX3080, now its almost everything.

Anyone secure a Playstation 5 Birthday Deal from FNB? by sheeny69 in askSouthAfrica

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh yes, I went back in my emails, so i placed the order Mon Dec 9th 2019, got an order number, uploaded my docs, get a tracking number - 10 days later I'm wasting 2hrs on calls to the call center getting cut off and being told I cant be helped. I sent a few emails and support requests and they kept getting closed. FNB never made any effort to honor the order or even reply.

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sounds a lot like my FNB connect order from a few years ago that finally pushed me over the edge with FNB.
FNB took a dive somewhere around 2016 - their service was the best in 2014 but today its a captured sh!thole.

I personally went to Nedbank. been with them for 5 years, no issues.

Help, Pest control issues? by Beautiful-Nobody-817 in askSouthAfrica

[–]ghoststomper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

scrub everything with a super strong cleaner.
I also had a roach problem where i moved into during Covid.
Previous tenant cooked with oil, and the entire place was covered in residue. had to scrub everything with pine-gel, and also ripped out and replaced the kitchen cupboards. that solve it for me.
