Hi guys,
I could really use your help on this:
In short: gimbal separated, ribbon was ripped apart, no other physical damage to gimbal inspected.
I ordered a replacement ribbon cable, installed it according to many youtube videos, and reattached gimbal to phantom.
Now this happens:
- the phantom does not complain about the gimbal (no beeps, etc), I guess I could take off
- the gimbal however has its red led light on constantly (no blinking..)
- the gimbal is limb as if it is turned off (you can move it by hand, no resistance, no gimbal dance), however the motors do get hot somewhat.
- I can connect with the vision app, it even opens the camera blinds, however, the picture stays black and it also does not display any other information (like battery status.. etc)
I don't know what next steps I should try, I mean I can just start over blindly and hope for the best, however it was a real pain to replace and I'd rather not if possible?
Thoughts I came up with myself:
- could this relate to the gimbal<-> phantom connection, is it possible that one of the three cables is not inserted correctly?
-should I try to reinstall the camera firmware?
I'm a bit at a loss here and input of stuff I should try first, before dismantling again would be appreciated!
Best and TIA!
