I crashed my Phantom+ and am trying to see if reconstruction and flying without camera or data link is still possible or if I have also lost of motor controllers , IMU or other circuitry that would need to be replace. I have completely removed the gimbals and camera, and the three grey cables that used to go to it just hang. All else inside and under the hood looks fine, but when I fire up the PV+ and even hit the reset button under the bottom of the unit, I keep getting red lights rather than a link with the transmitter/controller. I also get nothing sent back to the app even telling me the battery condition. Seems it should transmit that info even with no satellites, gyro or other attached. Can someone tell me if I should still be able to start the motors (no props on there) and rev them up, even if there is no camera attached, and does it make any difference if the top portion of the shell is attached by its own cable that comes from the top of the dome? What actually has to be plugged in to have the transmitter start the drone? When I first turn on the transmitter, it certainly gets the PV+'s attention and the yellow lights turn to red. I'm trying to troubleshoot if I have damage either the 5.8 receiver, the 2.4 or any of the other circuitry that links the devices. Is there someone who could walk me through the testing process to see if this is still functioning? See attached image of what I'm looking at. You can see the battery is fully charged
Thanks
