Hi Martin,
Have you read the manual? The binding procedure is outlined in the manual, although not with a lot of detail.
You're gonna need the MAC address for the egg camera. I don't believe the QR code on the top of the egg will help you. If you have the original retail box, there will be a QR code on the side of it which should work. If you're lucky enough to have a QR code on the SIDE of the camera (rare), that should also work. But if you have that, you probably have the MAC address printed on the sticker too, so that's all you need. Once you have the MAC address, you can proceed with binding.
1) Power up the RE and wait for it to boot up completely. It will take about 45 secs.
2) Use a paper clip or similar tool to reset the RE. There's a tiny hole on the side near the switch. Push the tool into the hole until you feel the button inside. Gently press in to depress the button inside and hold it for 5-6 secs until you see the SYSTEM lamp turn off or on. Then remove the tool from the hole. The RE will boot up again and then be prepared for binding.
3) While the RE is booting up, check to be sure the power cord leading to the egg camera is fully inserted into the camera. Be sure your camera's switch is moved all the way to the right - all the way to the Wifi-on position. Then, power up your P2V by inserting the flight battery into the drone and turning it on. Look at the lamp on the back of the camera. It'll turn orange for a second, then it should turn green.
4) Wait. The camera will take about 30-40 secs to boot up.
5) After 30-40 secs, open the DJI Vision app on your mobile device. At the top of the screen it will tell you whether you have a Wifi connection with the Phantom or not. If it is connected, you'll see a green lamp on the screen. If it isn't connected, tap on it, and the app should take you straight to the wifi settings section of your mobile device. In the list of wifi signals, you should see one that says Phantom... Choose that one and connect. Once you are connected, exit from the wifi section and you should be taken straight back to the Vision app. You should see the green lamp at the top of the screen.
6) Tap settings in the lower right quadrant. Scroll down to Binding. Tap on it. Under "New Camera", tap on the MAC bar. A keyboard should appear where you will enter the last six number/letters of your camera's MAC address. When you're done, double check to make sure it's correct, then tap the blue check mark at the upper right of your screen. Wait a bit while you see a circle twirl around. It will disappear in a few seconds. Now tap on the blue check mark a second time. Wait. The circle will twirl around again. Eventually you will get a pop up indicating "Success" or "Failed." If it failed, don't worry, it'll work the second time. Repeat the procedure and it will be successful after the second attempt.
7) Back out to the app's main screen by tapping the back button in the upper left corner. Now you must wait. The RE will reboot itself which will take about 45 secs. Watch the wifi connection's green lamp on the top of the screen. It will go out eventually during the boot of the RE. When the RE is done booting, the green lamp may return or it may not return. If not, tap it and go back to your device's settings and connect to the Phantom signal. Back out and it will take you straight to the Vision app.
8) At this point, you should have the green lamp at the top of the screen and your camera will be binded to your RE and your mobile device. See the camera icon in the upper right quadrant. Tap on it, and it will take you to the main flight screen. Give it a few seconds. When it comes up, it will show you telemetry and other info such as flight battery percentage. If your NAND chip hadn't failed, you'd see the FPV. But the screen will be black because you have the black screen problem which isn't repairable. Nonetheless, you can fly and it will give you some basic info during the flight and you can control the camera's various functions. Don't forget you need a formatted SD card inserted into the camera to take photos or record video. You can format it from your app.
Let me know if you have problems.
Good luck!
