Screwed up other day, forgot to put remote down when attempting to grab drone Typhoon Q500 4k, collision avoidance kicked in and shot it into side of house then to ground disengaging the gimbal and wires, have reconnected the wires but Gimble not responding to all commands. Is a replacement gimbal available and would it correct the problem. Any advise greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Gimbal issue.

You can't use a replacement gimbal board at all. Either new or used. They require an initial calibration to the specific characteristics of your camera.
The "camera" and "gimbal" are two different things. You may be able to find a CGo3 with only the camera/WiFi failed, but no damage to the gimbal components or frame. It would be rare find, but they do occasionally appear.
You can also send for repair.

It is a good idea to contact the repair shop prior to sending the camera in.

It depends on what the repair shop thinks might be the problem.
It will depend on things like:
Does the camera/gimbal have power at all?
Does the gimbal stabilize and hold level, center position"
Does the gimbal respond to manual pitch commands?
Are there any LEDs lit on the gimbal board?
Is the LED lit on the front of the camera?
It also may depend on how urgently you want the repair. If time is not a big factor, it may be more practical to send only the camera for an initial evaluation, and then send the drone later if the problem is not in the camera.
