Hello all,
Recently discovered right joystick and RTH button mounts had failed internally - I Took apart, and upon opening the case the main/con ribbon popped loose from main board before I unlocked it. This seemed to weaken the ribbon connector's ability to lock the cable down.
After rebuilding and fastening the mounts with hot glue and reattaching ribbon I lost all USB connectivity (I also accidentally pinched the cable with tweezers) . Remote still charges and can still power up drone but cannot get signal to my iPad.
Now I cannot find the ribbon (possibly thrown away), and I want to replace it if anyone can help I will gladly pay a little for one! A new controller looks to be at least $279 which I don't have...
PS. ALL of the outer shell mounts also have cracked and failed now as well and I now know there was a potential free repair for a bad batch of controller shells but I think I voided my warranty now because I'm missing the cable... :-(
