Prerequisites
The best way to repair ANAFI is to use Parrot official drones repair kit. You will need the cruciform as
well as the Torx 5 (T5) in order to carry out this procedure.
- Remove both screws from the bottom of the drone at the arms junction.
- Lift the bottom cover from the front of the drone, then push it toward the rear to remove it.
- Remove antennas from the motherboard. Antennas on the middle of the motherboard are
linked to the rear feet; the side antennas are plugged to the front feet.
- Unstick the SD slot, then remove it by pulling it through the plastic structure’s hole.
- Remove the two screws from the GPS cover (orange circle) then push on the button above
located the gimbal to remove the cover (red circle).
- Remove the screws holding the hinges: a screw can be found at each extremity of the GPS
card. Do not forget to remove screws from the bottom of the drone as well.
- Retract the arms towards the body of the drone before removing the black plastic holder of
each hinge.
- Remove the arms carefully, one after the other: make sure that antenna cables do not get
stuck with other cables.
- There is a rubber part with holes letting wires go through to connect it from the gimbal to
the motor card: the small hole is dedicated to the flex wire; the larger one is meant to
receive the micro coaxial wire.
- Remove the gimbal from the body.
- Remove the motor card by pushing it slightly toward the bottom of the drone
- If you need to change the motor, remove both antennas and the reflector simultaneously.
Then, unscrew the three screws from under the motor to remove it and replace it.
- Plug the ventilator to the motor card before putting the card back in its slot.
- Insert the motor card from the bottom of the drone.
- Screw the motor card to the center body.
- The LED wire and the ventilator must be placed between the motor card and the support (on
the right side, seen from the bottom).
Arms :
- Slide the motor wire inside the large hole of the top part of the arm.
- On the low part of the arm, insert simultaneously the antenna and the reflector in their
respective slots. You can let the antenna wire free for now.
- Put the screws back to stick the upper and bottom parts together.
- Insert arms in their dedicated slots on the central body and insert both antenna wire and
motor wire in the bottom part of the drone.
- Position the plastic holder on the lower part of the hinge with the larger extremity on the
rear side of the drone.
- -Put the screws back on the larger extremities of the hinge (one on the top side; one on the
lower side).
- -Repeat to install each arm.
- -Position antenna wires toward the front of the drone and the motor wires toward the back
of the drone.
- Front motor connectors are plugged on the rear side of the motor card; rear motor
connectors must be plugged on the front side of the card. Apply a torsion on the wires to
plug the rear motors on the card.
- Position the GPS card back and screw it; check that the antenna wire is not stuck. Position
the GPS cover back and screw it.
- To place the motherboard back correctly, start by plugging back the GPS antenna.
- Position the motherboard back in place by placing it on the two rubbers of the front of the
drone, then on the two rubbers on the rear of the drone.
- Make sure antenna wires are above the LED wire and ventilator.
- Once every antenna wire has been positioned, conclude the process by plugging them to the
holders near the vertical camera.
- Insert the plastic holder which holds the flex cable to the motherboard by attaching the left
side first, then the right side. Make sure the stamp is positioned on the dedicated hole.
- Insert the ventilator in the dedicated slot of the bottom cover. The sticker on the ventilator
must be turned toward the inside of the drone.
- Connect the LED card.
- Make sure there is enough free wire to let the gimbal move in any direction.
- Insert the bottom cover, starting from the front side, before clipping it; make sure no wire is
visible.
- Conclude the assembly process by screwing the bottom protection back.
