I ,ve installed all new cables ,video transmission ,gimbal contrrol board main control ,after a crash and it starts and i get the ready to go but the gimbal won,t work now what?maybe a powerboard
 
Just checked the prog(dji-firmware-tools) and yes it is also for the Mavic Pro.
The code for the Mavic Pro is WM220.

When you disassemble the gimbal you should recalibrate the Gimbal so that the camera is centered within its range of movement. To do this, if gimbal calibration does not work, you can try the dji-firmware-tools program.

There are two commands that need to be run, which for the Mavic Pro on COM port 3 are (Check your COM port number and edit as appropriate).
python comm_og_service_tool.py com3 WM220 GimbalCalib Jointcoarse​
and
python comm_og_service_tool.py com3 WM220 GimbalCalib LinearHall

Jointcoarse moves the gimbal to its extremities and saves the values.
LinearHall centres the camera between the recorded extremities.

Good Luck I Hope the following Helps.

well that did not work soo i believe i have other issues like a burnt gimbal motor and i need to find that or were it might be becuase the gimbal moves side to side but the degree action dosen,t work at all

Sorry to hear that. Clearly it still has a physical fault, a connection or maybe a cable. I think that with the Mavic pro, gimbal faults are usually because of the ribbon cable.
Best of luck in finding a solution.

I'm assuming you were talking about M1P, but you've switched to M2P. I think I've tried gimbalcalib on M1P and I get an error to the effect of unrecognized command.
