When I turn on the P3, the gimbal does nothing. No crazy dance or anything. If I move it side to side, it will emit a faint buzz. The camera is fine, and live view and recording works. There is a "yaw error" in the Go app. Recalibrating doesn't fix it.

The gimbal appears fine. No cracks, breaks, or anything. The ribbon tape seems in good condition, and plugged in squarely.

There are quite a few gimbal repair posts and YouTube videos out there. Most have to do with an obvious break or repair, and don't seem to address my gimbal issue.

My next thought was maybe a motor is burned out. Is there a way to identify which motor is not working, whether the yaw, pitch, roll?
 
I have installed 2 new eBay $10 ribbon cables with great precision. Did not work. Limp gimbal on 1 and no video on another. Bought genuine dji cable s for $36 each. Fixed both problems. Gimbal gyroscope error disappeared also from app.
