DJI drones have become an essential tool for photographers, videographers, surveyors, inspectors, and hobbyists alike. Known for their advanced cameras, intelligent flight systems, and precision engineering, DJI drones deliver exceptional performance. However, even the most reliable drones can experience damage, malfunctions, or wear over time. Crashes, water exposure, motor failure, battery issues, or software errors can quickly ground your drone and disrupt your work or passion.
When this happens, professional DJI drone repair services in Winnipeg are critical. At CDC Computers, we provide trusted, local DJI drone repair solutions designed to restore performance, protect your investment, and get you back in the air as quickly as possible. With over 40 years of electronics repair experience, our technicians bring precision, transparency, and care to every drone repair we handle.
Why Professional DJI Drone Repair Matters
DJI drones are complex devices combining cameras, gimbals, motors, sensors, flight controllers, and intelligent software. Attempting repairs without proper tools or expertise can cause further damage, miscalibration, or safety risks during flight. Professional drone repair ensures:
- Accurate diagnostics and fault detection
- Safe handling of delicate components
- Proper calibration of sensors and gimbals
- Reliable post-repair performance
- Protection of stored footage and flight data
At CDC Computers, we follow a repair-first approach, focusing on fixing and restoring your DJI drone rather than recommending unnecessary replacements.
Common DJI Drone Issues We Repair
Our team services a wide range of DJI consumer and professional drones, including Mavic, Mini, Air, Avata, and Phantom series. Some of the most common DJI drone issues we repair include:
1. Crash & Impact Damage
Even minor collisions can damage arms, motors, gimbals, or cameras. Symptoms may include unstable flight, error messages, or visible structural damage. We carefully inspect and repair impacted components to restore flight stability.
2. Gimbal & Camera Issues
If your drone camera shakes, tilts incorrectly, or displays gimbal errors, professional repair is required. We address:
- Gimbal motor failures
- Camera alignment issues
- Ribbon cable damage
- Sensor and lens faults
3. Motor & Propulsion Problems
Unusual noises, vibration, or uneven flight often point to motor or ESC issues. We diagnose and repair propulsion components to ensure safe, balanced flight.
4. Battery & Charging Issues
Drone batteries degrade over time or fail after improper charging or water exposure. We troubleshoot battery health, charging errors, and power-related failures to prevent mid-air shutdowns.
5. Water & Environmental Damage
Water exposure—from rain, snow, or landing in wet conditions—can damage internal circuitry. Prompt professional repair increases the chance of recovery and prevents corrosion.
6. Firmware & Software Errors
Software problems can ground a drone just as easily as hardware failure. We resolve:
- Firmware update failures
- Calibration errors
- Connectivity issues
- App and controller syncing problems

Our technicians will always provide honest advice so you can make an informed decision.
