Damage from a Prolonged Gimbal Motor Stall

As a result of a crash that could not be recovered quickly, here is what happens to a gimbal ribbon connector when the motor is stalled until the battery dies. Obviously there is a significant amount of current going to a stalled motor. The gimbal cannot be saved.

Is it only the ribbon cable or the entire gimbal destroyed?

The connection pad on the gimbal is burnt also. It’s a goner!
