Hi,
My Boxer had a crash and one of the switches snapped.
Turns out the switches are hollow - possibly so they break without damaging their mounts?
Anyway, it looks like the spares are sold as modules with fitted plugs so they should be reasonably easy.
Is this something I can attempt, as someone with reasonable screwdriver skills, and a solid track record of never blowing anything up?
Sounds like it should be fairly easy as it’s supplied as a module with prefitted cable and plug.
Have done similar on a Futaba TX succesfully.

I’ve looked at the inside before, it doesn’t look difficult but I’ve not done it.
Good luck!

Not for lack of trying! My Cetus X cooks itself each time it’s plugged into USB and yet I’ve managed to save it just by unplugging when that frying smell starts to appear.

Is that a problem or just what that model does?
It’s a problem for that particular drone, but I imagine other tiny drones could have the same problem if they have a shroud that covers all the electronics.
On the bench I sit it on a £10 mini desk fan.
Otherwise it’s best to plug in batteries just before takeoff.
