Try to bind the remote and drone. If that doesnt help Im afraid the ribbon cable could be damaged, or not properly seated in the connectors.
Nahh, I never heard about anyone bricking one because of a ribbon exchange unless they destroy the small clips that holds the ribbon in the connectors.
Just to make sure. Did you install any firmware update on the remote/drone or update dji go in the meantime?
Yikes. That complicates the problem..
Try post the update logs from the sdcard. The one in the hidden folder
Hmm doesnt tell much, maybe someone else knows about this error? I think its strange you cant see any log files in misc/log...
Mine does the same thing but everything works properly - te gimbal and video etc.Hi all. I’m slightly concerned. My P3P gimbal is making a grinding noise. Any ideas what this might be? Broken or dirty motors? I’m very careful with it, I have a guard and I always clean it with air after flying near dust.

Cool, thanks very much. I really hope it's just the ribbon cable, cheaper than a new gimbal. How would I go about finding and uploading an old firmware? Is there information on the link you provided?I don't have much more to say, @Wrecked explained the situation quite good.
If the gimbal flashes green for like a minute, then stops for a while, flashes three long reds and starts over - this usually means Ambarella cannot communicate to OFDM. Normally the reason is in ribbon cable, but if it was caused by software update, then programming of either Ambarella or OFDM may be corrupted.
What you need to do now is to try force Ambarella to write the log on SD-card. You can do this by placing VERY old firmware on the sd-card - the drone will refuse to do any change to its software, but will write the log which informs which modules were talking to Ambarella correctly.
Here you can find more general info about the OFDM Board and Gimbal Top board:
