Hey!

Earlier, I asked about how I could get a DJI Care coverage for my drone, knowing I'd be taking a few risks with it.
There's no DJI Care support on my country (Brazil)... so ok, if it breaks, I'd try to find out how to repair it. That's all I can do, anyway.

And it didn't take long to find that out.

Shell is severely damaged, and a very important structural piece, responsible for keeping one of the motor's arm in place, is cracked open. This shell is toast.

However, after using super glue, I could at least ensure that it still works, and is worth fixing the shell..
Note: Super glue didn't hold. When I picked up the UAV from the floor, it was already cracked open again.

As there's no support for DJI Care here in Brazil, how can I find reliable sources to buy parts to fix it?
I can find some shells on Aliexpress, but I'm not 100% sure which seller is trustworthy enough to send an original part, or at least a good enough part that won't make my drone break apart on the sky after a strong wind or something like that.
There are a couple of "drone repair specialists" (which I suppose are people like me, that know how to fiddle with electronics and soldering, and know how to buy from Aliexpress) that are charging six times the price of an Aliexpress shell. However I guess I could sue them if the drone broke on its own?

Anyway, I'd rather know a way to fix it with 100% original parts to maintain its known reliability.
So.. how?

p.s.: I am not willing to cheaply repair and sell it.

Story below, to whoever wants to know what happened:

I was maneuvering the drone to line up with a large window from my office (on the 2nd floor) like I did so many times. I always lined it up through line of sight, and guided it through the window by watching the camera POV. This time, however, I was doing it strictly through the camera.

What I didn't account for was latency.

While this was OK to slowly drive it through the window, it definitely wasn't OK as I maneuvered it to line up with the window, where it was just a meter away from a concrete wall (as the house is built in an L shape). I never really considered that wall to be an issue, because I always flew pretty safely away from it (at line of sight).
When doing so through the camera, I was moving the drone sideways to line up with the window, and it was too fast for the latency to catch up and for me to process that it was enough. It overshot the window alignment and lightly touched the wall.
I panicked, looked at it and, by instinct, pushed the stick to the opposite side -- only that, as it was facing me, the "opposite side" was actually further into the wall.

Two story crash and drop, straight to the garage floor.

Camera was still transmitting and no errors had came up on the screen, so I went down thinking it'd be a nasty bruise or slight crack.
But nah, it was like the picture I posted before
Camera, although transmitting clearly, was moving erratically when I picked it up. After a drone reboot, it gave me these warnings.
My heart sunk, as I thought I was unlucky enough to damage the brains of this thing. I still carefully disassembled it to see if I could do anything, and lo and behold, a flat cable from the gimbal was unplugged. Plugged it back in, powered up the drone and it didn't complain. Also camera was working and stabilized.
Worst case scenario, it'd still be a mid range camera with a gimbal, albeit very expensive lol

But unfortunately, a structural arm support, from the shell, has cracked, and made the drone pretty unstable and unfit for flight ^{this mini 2 doesn't deserve such punishment, though.}

Using superglue, I tried gluing that arm support back in place to check whether that drone would still be worth fixing, as the shell would probably be relatively cheap, but spending on a dead drone would be dumb.

And, like I posted before, it seems to be behaving incredibly well, thanks to its very good ESC and of course DJI's firmware.

So, off to find a new shell for it. And to hope for no more crashes!
