Did you use oem DJI ribbon cable when yaw replaced? Just a thought, because aftermarket usually don’t work correctly. Common mistake that’s covered often. If not, hopefully someone else has an idea.

Thanks for the response, it was only the yaw that's damage when the drone crashed which I replaced, I did not replace anything again. I thought if the ribbon is damaged the camera will not even display. Do you think if I change the ribbon It will fix the problem?

Very possible. Check all connections again before replacing. I’ve done a few yaw motors and usually they needed a new ribbon. It controls several camera and gimble operations and is easily damaged.

What about the alert that says Battery Damaged?

Yea, thanks for response, that particular battery is damage, am preparing to order for the new one. Am mostly concerned about the video footage because am into documentary shooting, if it was the picture that is blurry & noisy and the video is ok I would have not bother my self.
