Sounds like a DJI refresh claim is in your future.

The camera connector came unfastened..they do not use any type of adhesive on the connector like they do the forward sensors and ribbons. As for the gimbal not working..you ripped your gimbal ribbon cable. Just fixed mine for $35.

Please share where you got the part? This is a very common weakness as you know...

Bought it from F-stop.. $40 bucks..way cheaper than a refresh or repair.

The cable is very intricate and small. All the old black silicone has to be removed from the 3 connectors on the gimbal ribbon ports as well as the front vision sensors. I opted to use hot glue upon assembly as it's easier for me to remove in the future should I have to operate on the gimbal again. I also hit the camera cable with a dab of hot glue since it isn't glued from the factory and is the first thing to fail in a crash.

Maybe I should do a tutorial thread?

Mine fell from.about 6ft today, and the camera is completely dark but everything else works. Is it fixable? Or what should I do?

examine the ribbon cable in minute detail, maybe use a magnifying glass and light source, the break in mine is so very tiny its very difficult to see.
