Used an automotive stethoscope this morning and found that all three gimbal motors are making the "initialization beep". So I would guess it is indeed the circuit board in the top of the gimbal has a defect. I sure wish I could confirm that by installing the gimbal on a working drone. It does...

Thank you! I was out of options and even ideas to continue messing with this drone. In the morning I'll take a shot tracing and checking all wires/connections from the mainboard to the last gimbal motor. I did that visually at the start however not in a way that I was looking for anything...

No unfortunately. Even 2 repair places didn't want to "risk" hooking it up to their test platforms?!! I wish there were schematics or flow charts to diagnose the problem. I used a stethoscope to isolate where the sound is coming from, it is the positioning motors. They do not move but the sound...

Nothing I've tried so far has worked. If I were certain it was the gimbal I'd take the risk and purchase a new gimbal set up. I wish we had schematics or a way to be darn sure the problem is not on the mainboard but completely due to a flaw in the gimbal itself. I guess today I'll disassemble...
