Here's a very strange thing.
I had a minor collision with the Mavic Pro I just got for 10 minutes. No visilbe damage, but the gimbal stopped working. The error message was "Motor Overload", as everyone sees.
I've seen every source suggesting that replacing the flex cable would fix it. Although there was no sign of damage on my original cable, I still bought a new one and replaced it.
I tested it without the plastic covers of the gimbal arm, with only a few necessary screws, and turned it on. It worked! So I assume it is fixed. I took the gimbal assembly off again, and this time finish it up by adding some liquid electric tape, putting on all the covers and screws. I turned it on again, the gimbal initialized by sweeping in all three directions fine, and then it drooped, responseless. And this time the error was "gimal gyroscope error".
I spent another few hours going over all the connections. Nothing changed. So essentially i got the gimbal to work JUST ONCE with the new cable and it died again. HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE. Or could it be that the electric tape damages the connector??
And it looks like very few people has reported the "gimbal gyroscope error" message. Mostly we assume the gimbal itself is pretty tough and it is always the cable that's damaged. Has anyone really confirmed that their gimbal, not the cable, is damaged? Like one of the motor. And again where exactly is this "gimbal Gyroscope" located ? Is it somewhere near one of the motor or arm?
Is any other part I can replace my self? A whole gimbal assembly is too pricey, and I believe the camera, the vibration borad and the circuit board are intact so I hope to just repair the necessary parts that are wrong.
