no video or gimbal after crash

[tonyatrre]

Hi guys,
I was messing around and crashed my Mavic drone into a race gate on sport mode. Ended up breaking a front right arm, gimbal plate, and there's no video and the gimbal doesn't work. I'm hoping it's the video cable and gimbal ribbon that needs to be replaced and not the whole unit itself. What do you guys think?

Thanks,
Tony

Just wanted to update everyone. Ordered a new gimbal ribbon, video feed cable, and gimbal plate from amazon $63, new front arm $29 from ebay. Repairs took a couple of hours, lots of how to do videos on youtube. Back up and flying now.

Did you have any trouble figuring out the arm? Mine is a little funky after my first crash, but is holding up fine. When u take the plastic cover plate off, the metal plate wants to tip up. Not sure what's wrong on the inside and kinda afraid to take it apart fearing a spring will fly out of there. I replaced the same other parts on the gimbal that you replaced.

It was pretty straight forward, I just followed this video.

Thanks, I haven't seen that. I did see one where the guy was confused by the spring and didn't really show how to fix it. He didn't film the part where he was struggling with it.
