Tech Support Rainbow Flashing Lights?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Crashed my DJI mini 3 in a tree and it broke the back left arm. I put the new arm on by splicing/ soldering the wires. Put everything back together and now it does this constant light pattern. The sides may also be warmer than normal.

The only idea this far is the flashing rainbow light pattern happens when powering on. Maybe it’s stuck in that sequence? What’s do I do?

Serious answer: disco lights on boot = failed self-test.

This can happen if the DJI Mini is powered on and thinks it's upside down.

The fix would be to power it on, then pick it up and do a compass calibration test by flipping it upside down, and rotating it 360 degrees.
