PV2+v3 Gimbal Board replacement?

[Brottworks]

I stupidly broke the ribbon cable mount to the gimbal board directly below the bird-

The rest works (i hope- )- but I cant test it (?) without changing the ribbon cable-
and cant do that without a new board-
or a way to jump my broken ribbon connection-
have looked at USB options for a Zenmuse, but know it probably won't work on PV2+V3

Any advise?
Or Ideas on where I can buy that mystery board?
Not ready to spend $500 for a new Camera that only works on this bird-
and seen Walkera mods here-

Most cameras damage is in the gimbal, shaft or pots. You can purchase a damaged gimbal fromebay and salvage the board.

May have to, but the risk vs rewards and proprietary nature of pv2+ makes me question spending any more so i am looking to build my own as to make parts easeir to change and access. + the ability to use 433mhz for control and 1.2ghz for fpv...
Im sorry to see dji dropped the f550, still can get it, but know its going to be harder to find parts...
Know this is a stupid idea, but has anyone torn down a vision plus platform and used parts on differt frame?
I have so many pv2+ extra parts to work with...
thanks

ps. Do u know if a gimbal board is different on a v3 from earlier v2+?

I purchased a used one on ebay with the yaw motor and housing for $85-
waiting to get it- not sure it will work?
Does anyone know if it's compatible with the rest of my pv2+v3 Camera/gimbal
+ I have and extra yaw motor and housing for sale soon, please contact if you want to buy.
Thanks,
Andy

I have an extra gimbal housing that's directly below the bird, and yaw motor- not an extra board.
Although I do have my original board with broken ribbon cable mount as pictured-

Zenmuse does work. I have this setup. Just need a $10 15cm zenmuse cable and preferably an android phone.

Just remember, the V2 camera and gimbal are slightly different with V3. Eg, The bearing cases are larger and therefore the housing is different.
