I would say it definitely is.There is a Wi-Fi module inside the Phantom, is it possible it is become disconnected or damaged in the crash

On the Vision + the gimbal needs to be connected for the Wi-Fi to work,  I think the Wi-Fi power loops through one of the 3 grey sets of wires.
If they are unplugged then that will be your problem.

Well as I said, the gimbal needs to be connected for the Wi-Fi to work, until you have done that nobody can say if more damage was done.
What are the 3 grey plugs like ? still attached ?

The wifi is how you get your video from the camera.

Well you never said the gimbal was not attached, this was what I kept asking you, so yeah, no gimbal, no Wi-Fi.
Until its replaced you will not know what other damage may have been done.
But it is unlikely to have affected the Wi-Fi module inside the Phantom shell, unless the grey wires were shorted out.
