Well that's knackered it....

If it's the antenna, you should know when you're a good distance away. Something would have to be affected if it is the antenna. Check signal strength's. It does something..that's a sure thing. It's not just for decoration!

So what does it do?

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

Is it a send to DJI job?

TWP723 · Feb 25, 2016

Could be the antenna lead. Like stated earlier. That's why you should be cautious and do everything you can on the ground.

if it is antenna connector I would not,
trace the antennas and see if they are connected to anything to verify above post. .

twp723 's idea is a good one, that way you can see if you lsoe control , video etc

I save myself a lot of frustration by just not contacting dji at all. If I were in your place, I'd do what TWP said, and then try to solder it myself.

Where Exactly did it come from on the board.? Can you take a picture of where it was connected and post the picture.

Looks like it could be video ground, black wire correct? That's a wild guess based on no information other than what you have posted.

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

Black wire yes.

There was a small round socket there which is still attached to the cable.

TWP723 · Feb 25, 2016

It looks like you could push it back in. On the original pics, is that a spade connector at the end? Is there visible wire thread damage or is that connector the end?

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

No not a spade connector or I'd already have fixed it

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

No wire damage. The socket soldered to the board has come away with the cable... Shoddy original workmanship me thinks....

buford · Feb 25, 2016

I have been dealing with these connections for 2 months. The wires snap back on the connectors like a snap on jeans do. I've just never had the male part some off the board.

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

It wasn't yanked or anything... I'm very careful with my phantom. Must have been shoddy to start with... I'll keep on at DJI...

Are there 6 pins located there? Is that the 2nd pin position?
Or what numerical position is the one that is missing/pulled out.

I'm still leaning towards the osd module ground but I am still trying to orient myself with the photo and connector position.

wolvesfc · Feb 25, 2016

It's too small for me camera to focus on... It looks just like a positive and negative..

I took 3 pictures of it with my phone, and even put a magnifying glass to it, and I still cant see it clearly. I just had a birthday tho, and it wasn't my 18th LOL

wolvesfc · Feb 28, 2016

Well I think I've found out what that cable does after taking it for a fly about..,

GPS is fine, controller link is fine, flies perfectly..

It's the FPV link. It is very poor and intermittent now. No signal quite a few times.. Saying that though I thought my FPV wasn't too good before, I think this must have been a dodgy connection from the start
