DJI Mavic Mini & Mini 2 ESC Fault Repair
The ESC (electronic speed controller) on the Mini 2 core board drives the motors. When it fails, a motor will not spin, the app shows an ESC error and the drone will not take off. We diagnose and repair the ESC fault, then test every motor. It costs £139.99, takes typically 3-7 days and is covered by our 12-month warranty. Post it in or drop it at our London workshop by appointment.
Typical repair time: 3-7 Days

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ESC on a drone?
The electronic speed controller converts battery power into the signal that spins each motor. On the Mini 2 it sits on the core board rather than in each arm.
Is it the motor or the ESC?
It can be either. A damaged motor can also kill the ESC that drives it, so we test both and replace the motor arm too if needed, with a price before any extra work.
Is an ESC fault worth repairing?
On most DJI drones it is far cheaper than replacing the aircraft, and we confirm the fault before starting so you are not paying for a guess.
Can I add other repairs to the same order?
Yes. ESC fault repair is already ticked for you above, and you can tick anything else your Mini 2 needs in the same order. The most expensive job is full price and every extra repair or upgrade is 10% off.
How do I get my Mini 2 to you?
Mail it in from anywhere: UK orders can include a prepaid tracked label, and international customers get our workshop address and packing instructions by email. We send it back tracked at no extra charge. In the UK you can also drop it off at our London workshop by appointment.
Is the ESC fault repair covered by a warranty?
Yes. Every repair and upgrade we carry out on a drone comes with a 12-month warranty from our London workshop, and we send photos or video of the finished work before it ships back to you.
