Crashed...help wanted please

[Roy2593]

Hi, i have a phantom 3 standard which i only had christmas and i have managed to crash it today!! Im gutted!!

The gimbal took most of the impact.

First of all the gimbal doesnt move when you first switch on the drone. It used to go through a sequence.

Secondly the handset has lost connection with the drone and i can not get it to reconnect with it, ive tried so many times!!

Lastly, whiles looking at the gimbal all of the grey wires that go into the gimbal have come out of the white connector, there are 8 wires but theres 11 spaces for them to go to in the connector!!

Can anyone please help me??

Many thanks,
Roy.

if everything else seems ok and not bent etc. maybe a new ribbon cable set would do the trick

sending to repair would be the other option.

see if the part you need is here

Thanks for your reply. Would that be why it wont connect to the controller?

Yes, the wi-fi module in the P3S is in the gimble
