Hi all, made mistake of wrong polarity on Tx power cables, now don't have image or data on monitor,
Tx and iOSD mini leds works, tested cable continuity, with phantom off gets statics noise on monitor,
with phantom on gets black screen, no data or image, can't find anything blown or toasted, any ideas?

Thanks for your input
 
Check this component as it supplies power to the TX. If it's not burnt it could be open or even have a cold solder connection. http://i.imgur.com/Kzglp2t.jpg
 
Thank you Jason, component checked and seems ok.

Took a look under the heat-sink of Tx and found this,

Cleaned it with Contact cleaner and now looks like this:

Thought that maybe got rid of some sort of bridge, tested and still doesn't work.

Today I received a new transmiter that ordered like 10 days ago for backup, and is giving me same black screen, how could I test the iOSD mini components?

In the first photo there is a socket with a red and brown wire which is the power for the TX not plugged into the cam socket if it still is unplugged plug it in.

Yeah, I unplugged it just for picture purpose. Txs
 
Maybe this is a software issue, tried to reinstall iosd mini firmware but iosd assistant didn't let me, anybody knows a way to hard reset iosd mini?

After reading an earlier post on the modifications you have made to your P2 I would suggest you find a shop that can help you sort it out. Seems you went through awful lot of trouble to use wifi for your GoPro which I believe as a limited range.

No no, didn't make that mod, not using Gopro bluetooth for fpv. I'm using the regular 5.8ghz, iosd, 200mw TX fpv, only difference is I'm using 20 pins connector on back of Gopro for video signal.

Seems there is a Reset pin on iOSD mini, any hint on how to reset it, I'll do it @ my own risk.

Well reset didn't help, found a way to reinstall software, didn't help, it's hardware problem, ordered a new one.
