Hello, everyone!
So I purchased a lightly crashed P3A, the seller claimed that the bird fell from 10ft and broke the yaw arm. I went over everything and there was no damage done to the body but the yaw arm had snapped along with the ribbon cable.
I inspected all the gimbal PCBs for damage, replaced the yaw arm and ribbon. After doing the repairs I updated the firmware to latest and calibrated the IMU and Gimbal. I also verified that the ribbon cables going from the main board to the gimbal and vision module were not damaged and fully seated.
Took it on a first flight and it works perfectly, flies smooth and I get a great video feed. I can also control the camera completely including changing the f-stop and other settings. I can also format the SD card from the app as well.
The last issue I'm working through is that when I click capture or record I get a no signal message on the screen and the light on the front of the gimbal goes out and then starts flashing green like the gimbal rebooted. After about 10 seconds the image comes back but nothing ever gets recorded. I checked the hidden folders on the SD card and the only log message was that the firmware update was successful.
Thanks for any suggestions
