I bought some of these on AliExpress

If your problem is a camera sensor error you probably need a new flexible ribbon cable. Only use OEM. Aftermarket cables sometimes fail. AliExpress has them for about $20 USD.

Ok I have the film. Trying to figure out how to use it. It shows 8 magnetic locations. They are slightly different on each casing. I assume half are positive and half negative. Using a Boy Scout compass only shows half of these. I assume the half I see are either positive or negative. Not being...

Have we solved this problem yet? I see there is talk of replacing the RC. I would start there. You can use another GL300 C or even an F. With the F you have to go into advanced settings and change it from a Pro to a Standard. I am not a fan of the built in screen model (E) although some like...

Good point.

Same experience here. Waste of time. I’m a fixer not a fighter

I have been reading through some of the posts on here. Sometimes we are not as patient as we should be to newbies. I have seen this play out over the years. I think we forget that we were all newbies at some point. Even Droneted! I can remember getting some sharp replies and being put off by...

Great reply. We all have those days. You guys might not believe this but I was once a newbie. I asked questions and got great replies most of the time. Not everyone is patient but they mean well. What makes this forum great? The people on it.

I have the film on order and will repost after I try it out. He is right about the compass being crude. It only gets you somewhat close. Still some trial and error involved. I am working on one right now that points left. It is so far out that using a casing where the magnet is all the way to...

You mean my Boy Scout compass is crude and not accurate? Heaven forbid. I advise using it because it is easy to get. I do like your suggestion and will order one today. Most do it yourself guys and gals don’t have access to such modern tools. Boy Scout compass is the easiest to get locally. At...

Do u use a compass to identify the magnet location

Most of us repair guys hang onto the casings so we have a pile of casings to try. I have about a hundred. There are about 5 or 6 different magnet positions. Somewhat easy to identify the one needed.

That’s probably what it is. Saves time and I don’t have much time left at my age to look for PPF.
