Hi All,

Crashed my Phantom 3 Standard and it still flies and looks fine. Only problem is, I can't get a signal from the camera. On closer inspection, I found that one of the ribbon cables had been nicked (see photo). Do you think this could be the problem or should I look elsewhere? TIA! - Hunter

I believe the transmitter is in the AC - so if you have no 2.4 radio signal, it might not be the camera.  If you mean you have no image from the camera, that's a different story.

No. The drone is linked to the controller and I am connecting to the drone from the app and can change settings. The camera will also record video. I just can't see what I am recording.

Yep.  That's a pretty good nick.  I would say that's likely the problem.  You can replace that ribbon but it isn't easy.  Go slow.  Be careful.  Good luck.
