Mavic Gimbal obstructed (no ripped ribbon)

[donaldcao]

Hi, I crashed my mavic pretty hard but the camera still works. What i cant do is control the gimbal, as it will jutter to 5 different places before looking down completely. I have opened the mavic and replaced the vibration board, and also saw that the ribbon was not damaged anywhere.
Do you guys have any suggestions before I ship it off to dji? No refresh RIP

It might be your steel stranded cable, not your ribbon. Look at it from end-to-end very closely and you might find a broken strand.

I was not able to find any ripped strands on the steel cable, are there any other things to look for? Or could you fix it for $$?

Im sorry what?

Im sorry what?

The pin out of the wires to the board. From a schematic. As theses wire (grey cable) are video lines. As the flat one controls motors on the gimble.

Just asking in general not you specifically, unless you know more on the end to the techs that work on these.

OP has already checked the ribbon and it wasnt ripped, and he also double checked the connectors for both cables to make sure they were seated properly.
