I stopped concentrating for just a second and I crashed into a tree top. It dropped about 15 feet and the camera popped off. Ordered a new ribbon cable and after installing when I went to power up all I herd was a ver fast beeping. No LED's, no power up sequence, just a rapid beep. Pulled the shell off and discoverd 2 issues. First the component in the first shot,one side came off the pcb board and had to be resoldered on. Second was the component in the center was also partially disloged and upon closer inspection I noticed one side was partially warped. I guess alot of heat was generated and maybe fried it? Put it all back together and still the same rapid beeping. At this stage I am leaving the camera off to try and isolate the problem. Not sure what those components are and where to go from here. Any suggestions would be greately appreciated. Thanks

That thing in the middle with the cover knocked off,  I'm pretty sure that is the imu module.  Sometimes in a crash that can get stuck.  Are you able to connect to the craft with the app?

Sorry about your crash.
I would say, it needs to be sent in for repair.

You really should take the battery out before removing the cover, otherwise you risk causing more damage by accidentally shorting things out.  Yes, the battery is switched off, but as it crashed it could also be damaged.  You should send it in to DJI.
