I had a crash limited to a damaged motor. I had the drone torn down and I am sure I never took the Gimbal assembly out.



After putting in a replacement motor I found the drone gimbal won't snap, and the wifi network is not showing up, and nothing connected to the drone's USB C will pair.



So I went after the Gimbal connectors and wiring.



I found blue heat insulation paste in the stranded wire connector on the body side plug in.



I am surely going to clean this up! It seems a mystery where this infiltrated from. It seems that it would make the contact points not good. I think this may provide more startup initialization, but can it bring the wifi program up too?



How is the best way to remove this paste from these 'prickly' tiny cavities?1000013964.jpg1000013963.jpg
