Hello, I damaged the gimbal on my P3SE crashing into a tree. The aluminum hardware was bent/broken on a couple of the arms, and the ribbon cable was torn. I'm fairly mechanically inclined, so I purchased a rebuild kit with new aluminum parts (no motors) and ribbon cable and did what I thought was a darn good job rebuilding it, thanks to a couple of very detailed youtube videos. I also removed the top of the drone body and confirmed continuity in the white 8-wire connector between the gimbal mount and the main logic board. I reformatted the SD card too, for good measure. Now when I turn on the drone, remote, and dji app, the app reports a "gimbal yaw error". The camera works, but the gimbal is limp, and does not go through its startup wiggle. In addition, all of the gimbal motors make a faint "beep beep beep" sound followed by a few seconds of silence, then "beep beep beep" again, continuously. I saw someone mention a similar problem on another forum, but there was no resolution. I'd like to fix it myself if possible. Anyone out there aware of the issue and a possible solution? The rebuild kid was an aftermarket $35 kit from ebay, and I've seen forum posts mentioning the prevalence of defective ribbon cables, but if anyone has any advice on this please let me know. Thanks!

Yep,,, buy yourself a OEM DJI flat cable. That will probably fix the problem.
I’ll second that OEM cable. Hard to diagnose until that is replaced. Let us know the results and can go from there.
