Hi, I'm trying to repair my drone. I was flying it with Waypoints today when it suddenly veered off towards a building and crashed. The camera disconnected from part of the gimbal assembly and one of the ribbon cables is snapped. I put the camera back on where it had disconnected and attempted to power it up but got no movement from the camera during the powerup sequence. Is there any way to repair the gimbal myself or does the entire gimbal need to be replaced?

You said one of the ribbon cables snapped.  I assume you mean it broke into at least two pieces.  If that's true, you need to replace the snapped ribbon cable at the very least.

I assumed I would need to replace the cable. What I'm not sure about is if it's possible to only replace the cable, and if that would fix the issue.
