No GPS after crash

I had a bad crash with my WKM octo. It was a little blustery and I had my Canon 5D mk III on board. Not good!!

Anyway, after the rebuild I cannot get a GPS lock. Did everything normal and recalibrated digital compass.

I left it for 20 mins and still nothing. I moved the antenna twice and no change. The plastic protection dome thst covers the IMU has the imprint of the IMU, so it must have landed directly upside down on the IMU. The GPS mast was also broken off. Would the IMU be damaged? If so how would I know?

Possible just GPS damaged.. Not fully picking them all up.. Do you someone or dealer you could try the GPS... When you carried out the WKM dance.. Calibration did all appear ok. I would start with GPS first if it snapped the pole that took a big hit.

WKM dance was all good. I don't know anyone who I could swap GPS units with. I am moving to Australia in 4 weeks so maybe i have an excuse to swap my GPS unit for the V2 southern hemisphere unit. That will clarify if its the GPS unit or not. DJI should have a lot more diagnostic software available to fault find with their units.
