Drone repair

Drone repair done right, crash damage, gimbals, and board-level work

  • Crash damage fixed
  • Gimbal & camera
  • Board-level repair
  • Mail-in 50 states

A drone that won't power on, a gimbal that hangs at an angle, or a hard crash usually gets one answer from the maker: replace the whole aircraft. We give you the other option. WeFixed is a board-level microsoldering workshop in Arlington, VA, and drones are exactly the kind of dense, multi-board hardware we're built for, tight flex cables, gimbal ribbon connectors, ESCs, and power circuits that a parts-swap shop can't chase. We work on DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, Avata and FPV, Phantom and Inspire, plus Autel, Skydio, Parrot, HoverAir, and custom builds. Every repair starts with a $65 written diagnostic that applies toward your repair, and an honest answer on whether the fix is worth it. Walk into our Arlington Repair Center or mail it in tracked from any of the 50 states.

The short answer

WeFixed repairs drones at the board level in Arlington, VA, including the work most shops and even the makers won't touch: crash damage, gimbal and camera faults, dead motors and ESCs, water damage, and boards that won't power on. We work on DJI, Autel, Skydio, Parrot, HoverAir, and custom FPV builds. Every repair starts with a $65 written diagnostic that applies toward the fix.

What we fix

Every Drone fault, repaired right.

Crash & physical damage

A hard landing can crack an arm, snap a motor mount, tear a flex cable, or shear a board connector, and the drone may still half-work, which hides the real damage. We open it under the microscope, find every fault the crash caused, and quote the full repair honestly before we start.

Gimbal & camera faults

Gimbals that hang at an angle, drift, buzz, or throw a "gimbal motor overloaded" error are one of the most common drone failures, and one of the fiddliest. We diagnose whether it's the ribbon cable, a gimbal motor, or the camera board, and repair the actual fault instead of swapping the whole assembly blind.

Motors & ESCs

A motor that won't spin, stutters on takeoff, or a burnt ESC after a crash or a prop strike is a board-level job most shops skip. We test each motor and its ESC, find the failed component, and repair or replace it so the drone flies level again.

Battery, power & charging

A drone or controller that's gone dead or won't take a charge is usually a fault in the power circuit, not a write-off, and we trace the charging IC, power line, and battery contacts to find it. A swollen intelligent-flight battery is a safety issue and only ever gets replaced, never opened, and we source the correct pack.

Water & liquid damage

Landed in water, flew through rain, or took a splash, liquid corrodes the board fast. A wet drone that won't start is often a microsolder repair, not scrap. We clean the corrosion, find the shorted or failed components, and give you an honest recovery answer.

Sensor & calibration

IMU, compass, and GPS faults, and the sensor errors that keep a drone from taking off, holding position, or flying level, are their own kind of repair. We chase the calibration or the failed sensor to its source so the aircraft flies steady again instead of drifting or refusing to launch.

Good to know

Drone repair, answered honestly.

What drones do you repair?
We work on the whole range, DJI Mini, Air, Mavic, Avata and FPV, Phantom, Inspire, and the Neo and Flip, plus Autel EVO, Skydio, Parrot Anafi, HoverAir, and custom FPV builds. If you're not sure your model is covered, send us a photo and we'll tell you before you ship it.
My drone crashed and won't turn on, is it worth fixing?
Often, yes, and that's exactly the board-level work most shops and the makers won't do. A dead drone after a crash usually means a cracked board connector, a shorted power line, or a failed component, not a total loss. Our $65 diagnostic finds the real fault under the microscope and gives you a straight answer on whether it's worth repairing before you spend on the fix.
Can you fix a gimbal that hangs or throws an error?
Yes, gimbal faults are one of the most common drone repairs we do. A gimbal that sits at an angle, drifts, or reports "motor overloaded" can be a torn ribbon cable, a gimbal motor, or the camera board. We diagnose which it is and repair the actual fault instead of charging you for a whole new gimbal assembly.
Can you recover my footage from the drone?
We focus on getting the drone flying again, gimbal, motors, power, and board-level faults, not footage recovery. If your clips are on a microSD card, they usually live on the card rather than inside the aircraft. For a swollen battery, note that these are only ever replaced, never repaired, for safety.
