Well that didn't go so well. For starters the kit only included 1 of 2 ribbon wires so I still need the second wire that broke. I put what I had together and I mostly still get a black screen but I do get a pixelated image and the gimbal does move but it's not at all working correctly. I've checked the connections and they seem fine but I will completely take it back apart and triple check it. It looks good but no joy.
Wow bit sad on the parts ay,,you think it be a kit,,,,This is what I'm getting but it's intermediate. Im getting a video signal warning and then I get this on the screen for a few seconds then it goes black and it will do it again in 20 seconds or so.
those black lines almost looks like over exposure warning but not if intermittent,,check setting and I would even try changing USB..say that cause fixed mine,,if that no go check transmission channelsOh no not sound good..looking at ribbon can only really go one way so not installed wrong,,did you lose camera power,,burned smell not good,,have you had the back off,,see any short circuit makes in back of where ribbon plugs in
Now you got me stumped
.I go have look on uncle Google see if I can find somethingOK,,,Yeh on utube there few clips but pointing at yaw motor ,,I Google p4 camera getting hot after ribbon change,,,,taught myself couple things while searching,,,sorry to read bad news..

If I can get the camera going I will be getting a new yaw motor. I wonder if I should get the new one (I think mine is the older version) or if I have to get the old one? My only hope is that it didn't fry the camera. It was sending video up until I turned it off. I took the wire all the way off and it has a bubble in it. It's delaminated and clearly shorted out. Had the camera caused the short then the wire would be burned the length of it. I'm pretty sure the ribbon caused the short. If it is beyond repair then I'm just gonna buy an entire gimbal tray. By the time I spend $40 on a yaw motor and with the $40 refund for the parts I just got (they offered a full refund), and my time to put it all together I can just buy the gimbal trey. The buy nows are like $300 but I think I can get one at auction a little cheaper.

Found the burn!
I think it looks worse than it is. The foam melted into the chip. Everything is still attached to the board and nothing look burned. I think it just has melted foam stuck to it. I'm not gonna try to remove it. I am gonna start looking for a replacement. No luck so far. Can't find just the camera either. I may just sell it as a flyable quad in need of a camera. I could sell it and get a p3.
