Where to start? P4 camera works but no response from gimbal totally limp!

[dmd56]

I just got this P4 showing signs of a crash, IE; landing gear. Question is where do I go into finding the problem of limp gimbal? Camera works stills and record but nothing from gimbal. The gimbal and camera are motionless. Just sits there even during initialization. Moving the gimbal/camera by hand and there is no physical resistance from the motors. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kinda an update:
I just went through and detached and reattached cables and connectors and the gimbal weakly started to function. With resistance on roll and yaw motors for the cam. Turned off the P4 and turned it back on and everything is limp... Again

Does gimble calibration work

No calibration didn't recognize the camera. That's assuming I did it correctly.
Does any one have or knows where I can get a gimbal board for a standard P4

Um,,,does yours look like this.....it also could be ribbon cable at fault,,might be good idea to get a set,,I just buy set for spares ,I put a picture in next post

This ribbon set I get,,be careful not to buy non original parts cause they won't work due to incorrect spacing of ribbon conductors (male to female matching)

A new SD card fixed mine, or a format of old one.

I recently had a problem with my camera after a tree reached out and grabbed my P4 - I replaced the Ribbon Cable (DJI OEM), and fixed the problem

There's a great YouTube video on how to swap out the old cable for the new one.
