Yes, it could be... (but it's still not guaranteed that's the problem)

Many people here have reported problems with non-OEM ribbon cables and it's often best to buy the genuine article, just to be sure....

Ive had similar results with non-DJI ribbons. I can only get OEM DJI ribbons to work on my p3 cameras, i've tried 3-4 off brand and none ever worked. got the DJI brand, boom worked fine. weird ..

Buy Phantom 3 - Flexible Gimbal Flat Cable (Pro/Adv)

I agree with the others. I don't know how many times we've told people to only use an OEM ribbon cable. I've said this a few times before, but I don't think that I've ever heard anyone say that they had success with an aftermarket ribbon cable. Seems like it should not matter I know, but we've seen countless times that once an OEM cable is used that all is suddenly better.
