I am not knowlegable on this but I believe I have read that behaviour like that is linked to replacing the top of the quad in the wrong orientation ? This makes the GPS think its tipping in one direction and it compensates but the control input is wrong so it flips ?
Good suggestion. The cover is on the right way though. Took the P2V apart, inspected all solder points, no obvious faults I'm afraid. Maybe the replacement main board is defective?
Ended up writing DJI support europe. They sent me an answer. They have a disclaimer in their mails saying the content is confidential, so I can't quote the email. The essence was: We don't know what you have done. You should have returned it to your dealer. Now your warrenty is void. - Very helpful. I wrote back and asked if I can post the mail here, to inform others of their business practice.
Finally got written consent from DJI Europe to post the content of the mail from them. For others in a similar situation, this is how support is handled from DJI Europe:

Hi,
Unfortunately I´ve no clue what you´ve done and how you´ve soldered and mounted the board.
I can offer you to return the Phantom to our service via your dealer, to get it repaired, but this won´t be covered by your warranty.
You should have done that in first place.
Thanks
Best Regards,

Subject: Doing somersaults after replacing central circuit board on Phantom 2 Vision
I recently fried the resistor on the central circuit board of my DJI Phantom 2 Vision, by plugging the jack connector into the camera while the Phantom was powered on. It could still fly, but the camera did not transmit.
After replacing the central circuit board, my DJI Phantom 2 Vision will not fly. I have done both simple and advanced calibration of the IMU from the DJI Phantom 2 APP, but the Phantom still does somersaults when trying to lift off. This is both dangerous and expensive, since I have to replace 2-4 propellers every time I try to debug the problem.
How do I prevent this from happening, and what could be the cause? Is there some steps I have missed in replacing the central circuit board?
