New p3s owner. Disappointed to learn it would not work with my iPhone 5... But it would with my iPad Air. Ordered the dji clamp. It did not fit, needed a hole in the tx to mount it.

I read the forum and opened the case so I would not drill into anything. In the process the black wire from the antenna came loose, or broke at the end farthest from the antenna. Thought I found where it came off and slid the end on with tweezers.

Nope. I run out of reception at 100 yd or so.

Is this fixable? Can't believe cracking open the tx box has killed my p3s with only 3 flights. I can't find any diagrams or pics of an open p3s tx to help. How screwed am I?

Upon closer inspection, I see that the end of the coax wire pulled out of the coax jack at the circuit board. I removed glue and the jack from the board, and tried refitting the coax line into the connector. Man they are small!

Will dji send a replacement? I can't figure out why splitting the tx case would have interfered with that wire at all?.
 
You could ask, but I doubt DJI is going to cover it since you dissembled it. Perhaps it's defective though.
