			In 2023 the group [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1412898679632354 GoPro Karma Fixes] started helping people fix the pairing issue through a difficult process that involved wave soldering a micro SD card to the right arm board, probing several points on the main board simultaneously, and using Putty to flash the update. In June 2024 Joshua Dixon started developing his Good Karma Kit that made repairing the drone accessible to anyone, no matter their skill level.
