Strange 'gimbal dance' and no camera connection after ribbon replacement.

[Fabian Sylvester]

Good afternoon pilots.

Did a recent gimbal repair last month from a repair-kit, got a successful 'gimbal dance', successful display on App, and tested all movements from -90 to +30 degrees etc. BUT, after I made a physical adjustment on the ribbon, I damaged it in the process and so when I powered back on, the gimbal dance started and abruptly stopped, then I smelled smoke and realised I bruised the ribbon.

Anyway I ordered just the cable and just did the replacement and got a very crazy gimbal dance (very fast left right left right movements lasting about 15 seconds) and no camera connection through the app therafter. Do also note the final resting camera position after the dance. Any suggestions? See attached files

Did you use OEM cables? 3rd party rarely work correctly.

Good morning.

No I used a generic cable. My last 2 repairs were done with generic repair kits and they worked well.

You was very fortunate they worked at all.
