There is a small circuit board mounted in the Yaw Arm on the Phantom 4 Camera Gimbal.  I broke a little black black clip on one of the ribbon cable  connectors so I cant lock in the cable.   I want to replace  this board but I can't find it anywhere on the internet.   If anyone can  help, I would appreciate a link so I may buy this part.   Thanks in  advance.
PS: The board is not the same as the one in the P3.   I tried to add a picture but this thing is giving me a hard time.

Looks like this:

This is ESC board on the gimbal. We don't recommend repairing by yourself since the damage caused by unauthorized modification, disassembly, or shell opening not in accordance with official instructions or manuals will not be covered by warranty according to DJI After-Sales policy. We suggest sending it back to our official repair center for maintenance if you need.

Too late, Thor.  I replaced the flex cable and the Yaw Arm.  Besides, the drone is a year old and out of warranty.

It's alright, how does the drone perform now?

The drone still has problems but I'm working on it.  I need to replace that ESC board if I can ever find one, the yaw motor is damaged, the 3-in-1 board may need to be replaced and the forward sensors give an error.   This drone is very fixable but not worth the crazy (over $800) that DJI wants to fix it.   I bought another brand new P4 for $818.00 and if I cant fix the old one, it will be used for parts.

Lock the cable with hot glue instead of buying a new PCB.

I thought about that, however, I don't understand exactly what the little black bail thing does.  Does it merely keep the cable from pulling out of the connector?   Or does it also press the cable down to insure a good electrical contact?   I thought I would err on the side of insuring a good connection and replace the board.   If you know better, please explain.   BTW, I can't find this PCB for sale anywhere in the internet universe anyway.

The black piece of plastic does both things. Now I'm not sitting here with the remains, but if you insert the cable and push the remains black plastic into the plug for then and give hot glue, I think it will be seated. Your quad does not fall to the ground if the connection is not held, it's probably only your gimbal that does not work.

You can also buy a new plug that should be soldered in PCB. I will not be surprising that a small repair shop for mobile phones can make such a repair.

It is about finding the possibilities.

Thanks for your input, Leif...  I'll try the hot glue first.

Tnx, good luck Ron.
