I had just the same problem and I replaced the ribbon cable and the motherboard but it still don't react. Did you reset your drone or something?

[@themrfabio2459]

Did you replace the ribbon cable yourself? I’d hate to say it but unless you did it with scientific quality, you could have messed up the cable. Best bet is to buy a refurbed camera that has the replacement cable already installed. You can get them on eBay or Amazon for ~50$

[@lennert_Vanden_Berghe]

Yes ok thanks for youre help

Do i need to replace the gimbal and cable or just the gimbal?

[@themrfabio2459]

@@lennert_Vanden_Berghe what I did was replace the gimbal. When you buy a replacement gimbal it usually comes “ refurbished”. You can get multiple configurations - with camera, without camera, with cable, without cable ext.. I chose the option that you buy the gimbal, without camera that has the replacement ribbon already installed. The only technical part you will have to do is swap the camera from yours to the replacements.

This problem is normally almost always caused by the motherboard, or the gimbal and or cable. You said you already replaced the motherboard so not much left there.

I just changed my gimbel ribbon cable. Every motor is working but my camera is not facing towards front. When i turn on my drone it turns backward and auto gimbal calibration doesn't take place . I tried so many times. Gimbal motor over loaded error showing . Plz help me to understand whats the matter ?

[@themrfabio2459]

If you changed it yourself and are HIGHLY competent that you did it correctly, then I would proceed with buying a motherboard.

[@themrfabio2459]

You would need to explain your situation. Did you wreck the drone?
