One engine not spinning
My drone crashed into the beach.. had a mind of its own I had no control.
Now one of the front engines doesnt spin freely and shut down after I attempt to fly it.
What do I do?

do I need to ship this to you to fix it?
Are you the the service department for Mavic Pro?
How much is a new motor?

One of the three tabs the propeller uses to lock in place is probably broken off and lodged into the motor housing. Just remove the propeller and try to remove the broken plastic tab and it should spin freely again. The other option is the motor shaft is bent, or the cylindrical housing is bent disallowing the motor to spin freely. Mine had the tab broken upon impact. good luck to anyone with the problem. The motors are not sold individually [yet] so the option is to replace the arm, between $45 and $80 depending on which arm and the supplier. The process requires soldering the new arm in place.

Chase White, you just saved me a whole bunch of headache. I ran my mavic into a wall and the tab broke off inside the motor like you suggested. Had already ordered a replacement arm and motor and bunch of tools to work on it with when I checked your suggestions and found the tab. Back to flying!

How did you guys remove the tab? I have the same issue - propeller tab broke off inside the little motor but I can't figure out how to get to the broken piece and get it out.
