How reliable is the controller's fan

[macoman]

Wondering if anyone can tell me how reliable is the fan on the controller. I am charging the controller and hear a loud noise sound that never hear before and now I am worry.

Don't. My controller's fan also turns on while charging.

Don't. My controller's fan also turns on while charging.

Never hear so loud and then after a few minutes it went silent.

Was it still on, or did it turned off while charging?

It turned on by itself and then after a few minutes went silent.

I'm not sure. When I charge mine, it turns the fan on, and I know it has finished, because it beeps once it reaches 100% and the fan turns off.

Mine beeps too but it's already silent before the beep.

Sorry to hear that it's giving you problems. Best advice I can give you is go contact Autel and tell Alejandro to get his s**t together. After that, ask about the controller.

My experience is they dont seem to be very reliable. First RC fan failed within a week. Lots of grinding noises (suspect the fan bearing is not lubricated) Took Autel over 5 weeks to get me another RC (I was without drone entire time) and the 2nd RC is exhibiting similar symptoms but it hasnt died just yet. My Mavic Pro's RC is over 2 years old and stilll going strong for me, nothing but a whooshing noise unlike this grinding noise I'm hearing. Im starting to think there may be a bad batch of RCs out there with crappy fans since this isnt the only one having the issue.
