New drone user, last crash was pretty bad.
Errors- Gimbal shaking, gimbal moter overload
Fix- replaced gimbal ribbon, made sure gimbal was seated properly.
Outcome - Made it through gimbal calibration, however, errors persist. Also, motor seems to be much louder.
After Googling the errors, 90% of them seemed to focus on the gimbal ribbon and making sure the gimbal was seated properly, both of those things have been addressed, now I'm looking for insight on what is next.

At this point should I just send it back to them? Try replacing the gimbal itself?

Thank you in advance! Almost forgot, DJI Mavic Pro.

if its still in warranty then send it in,i purchased a crashed mpp a couple of years ago and replaced the damaged camera,i found a new used one online for a $100 and the mp p has been a great drone since,i watched a youtube video one how to replace it.

I would bite the bullet and swap out the whole gimbal. Will be more cost effective even if a diy all the parts replaced and labor involved being you already replaced the ribbon. you can try the ribbon again but there are no guarantees.(maybe it's folded the wrong way and got damaged during the install)
