But it wont calibrate and its making this really loud high putch wine.

Have to say, if you haven't tried some self repair, as suggested other thread, then you are probably beating your head into a wall and will eventually have to try something, or send it into either DJI or another competent repair biz.

What is wrong

So flew my mavic about 7 times Had it in my back pack and i think gimbel got knocked as i didbt hsve protection on it. I get gimbel overload. Wont calibrate passed 31% And it makes this knocking noise see video Video Im yet to replace the ribbon cable

The overheating / noise you mentioned suggests a probable gimbal overload thing, and its motor is struggling.
The overheating and condensation might even = a total new gimbal setup and camera.

Good result, can't get a much simpler fix to have to do.

Need to do a form to fly ? As in UK regulations ?
The UK blokes can help if so, I'm pretty sure just a simple online test, register, label aircraft.
