Hello Peter, I am unsure what glue was used. If I remember correctly, it felt like a silicone based glue. However I have to admit, I did not bother gluing the cables back down when reassembling the drone. Also, note that I made the mistake of cutting the cables rather than just unsoldering them, so I didn’t even break the glue by the solder joints. I definitely wouldn't use anything too strong in case you have to do it again. You could honestly probably get away with just a basic glue like the Elmers glue that you give kids in school. The cables are soldered at one end and fixed on the other so the glue’s main purpose was to keep the cable from rattling around too much and from getting pinched during assembly. You could also look into the Loctite Silicone glue at Walmart for $5. Maybe do a test with the Loctite on a small piece of scrap plastic to see how it sticks, how flexible it is, and if you could easily pry a cable out of it if you need to ever do it again.

No worries! I made this guide to help people do that exact thing.

I believe there is only one you need to replace. This was a common issue with the DC24.

The ESC errors are a tricky one. I was not able to repair mine and ended up sending my drone in to DJI for repair. They ended up raplacing my motors and the left ESC chip. I would honestly just recommend sending it into DJI for repair. I think the only way to fix the ESC error is to have them replace the board. They actually just sent me back a new drone entirely and only charged me for the new case and some labour. I was really satisfied with their service.

To be honest DJI was really good. They were fast and affordable. And I got a brand new drone out of it but only paid for a few parts.

If by middel shell you mean the upper shell with the shielding sticker in step 21, yes, you can skip all the other steps and just replace the upper shell. Which would be relatively easy since you wouldn’t have to unsolder any of the propellers to remove the lower shell. However you may not be able to buy just the upper shell and may have to buy the bottom as well, you can look around.

Hello katrapper, I actually made this guide myself from scratch so I don’t know where else you can get guides other than Google and YouTube. This is actually the only drone guide I’ve ever made. So if you do end up getting into fixing drones, please make some guides and share them with the community.

Thank you Julio! I’ve just corrected this to saying T6. I’m glad this guide was helpful for you.

I agree, waste of time and you risk damaging the battery if the adhesive is too strong.

If you cut the wires you should twist and solder them back together to insure you have a good and strong connection. Heat shrink is what you use to cover that connection instead of using something like electrical tape. So what you do is put on a small piece of heat shrink on the wire first, then solder the wire together, then slide the heat shrink tube over the joint, and then you hit it with some heat to shrink the tubing over the connection.
