I can confirm by my own recent experience - gimbals ARE paired with motherboards. Parrot, WHY??? It's a pain!

Dear All! ) I have extracted the ribbon from the new gimbal, installed in my old one and ... magically, everything works. So, indeed, the gimbals are paired to MBs. Parrot, why??? And yes, isopropylene helps to dissolve the glue and detach the ribbon! Alex

Dear Paul, please see my answer to mazsola. Almost unbelievable, but not it's a fact for me as well - THEY ARE PAIRED! ((( Does anybody have this ribbon to send to me? Then seems I'll resolve my issue! Would be so grateful! Alex

Dear mazsola, YOU WERE RIGHT!!! ****, when I plugged my *old* camera, the new gimbal revived... OMG, **why** they did it this way? So, now I know more-or-less for sure that the motor-board is OK. (all motors working perfectly). The camera (in the new gimbal) looks in some arbitrary direction...

I already tried to install the new gimbal - the camera works, but both motors are unfortunately dead (((. I tried to hard reset the drone, soft reset - nothing helps... I remember that originally the gimbal was activates in the inizialisation process (immediately after power up). Now the drone...

1234 shop (Austria), they have a large turnover of used Anafi parts and new items almost every day. High rating as well...

Actually, to unglue the ribbon, we could use isopropylene (not heating), no? Seems to be much safer!

OMG, so, this means I just wasted money (about hundred bucks with the shipping) for the gimbal??? My logic was to install it to my crashed drone and keep my gimbal as a spare parts (camera, gimbal motors). In case if the situation is really like this (gimbals are non compatible with other...

HI! Thank you for coming! Welcome!) From the fresh news - I've contacted the vendor that sells gimbals in ebay. They said - a) the gimbal is proven to be perfectly OK, b) they sell a lot of them and generally people don't complain c) they advised to make hard reset. What is the hard reset and...

Dear Paul! Thank you for your generous proposal! I need to understand my strategy - shall I believe in this (semi-conspirological))) theory that gimbal is paired with the mother board (then I need to crack the new gimbal and take the ribbon from it) or not (then, the next reasonable step will be...

Thank you, Paul! The only thing that troubles me is this info that gimbals could be incompatible with motherboards! In this case, all my efforts would be useless ((. How can we check this info?

So, the problem is probably with the third one (from the side of GPS, near the power input)? Ufff... Need to remove GPS and arms?

Used, but functional motorboard in ebay is not so expensive, fortunately, so principally I can buy it... However, the problem is - in case if this is true (that the gimbals are *principally* non replaceable), this changes everything! Then the only way out for me is to extract (OMG) the ribbon...

OMG!!! Can it be true??? But how??? Physically, how? But there are few gimbals on the market for sale, are they all just a waste of money in case if the gimbal is dead? Can't believe in this! In my case, it is quite *possible* it was a short circuit during the crash (at least, the ribbon looks...

This is the explanation from the other thread I mentioned above - "Sorry, folks... I have a hunch that the gimbal and the motherboard are somehow paired... I had more than 10 crashed Anafis to experiment with... so this is the conclusion. The camera board has some eprom that stores information...
