My P4P has a problem with the gimble.  I'd watched several YouTube videos and assumed it was a defective ESC controller.  The replacement I purchased arrived today.  I went to install it only to find the ribbon cable on the back of the ESC controller was the problem.   I don't know how this got frayed/shorted.  Can someone provide part # or link to where I can purchase this ribbon cable?  The cables I've found via Google search are different from this one.

My replacement motor arrived yesterday, I installed it this morning. The gimble problem is fixed, flew for 10 minutes, video quality appeared to be good. I was doing a Facebook live session during that flight, the audio was fine but the video was scrambled.  Could the ribbon cable short have damaged something on the ESC chip or some other chip?

I sent drone up later in the day from exact same location, took video first then went live on Fakebook, the live session's video was fine this time.  I don't understand why first was scrambled and second was fine, no changes other than different battery, both batteries were fully charged.
