Mobula 7 Camera Issue After Crash

Hello, this is my first post here so let me know if there's something I can do better.

I crashed my Mobula 7 camera-first into my car coming out of a split-S. Right when it hit my video went out. I picked it up and checked it out, minimal looking damage but still no video. The flight controller seems to be ok, it will activate, arm, run motors like normal. Just no FPV. I took it apart and don't see any obvious wires loose. I took some photos (which will hopefully upload). Any tips on how I should fix this? Or should I just abandon it and move on to a different drone?
 
Funny thing about crashes, they usually do irreparable damage to something. Digital Cameras all have circuit boards. The shock of impact could of damaged a component that doesn't show up in an eyeball look over. Get out the multi meter and start checking for shorts in the components. It may not a simple fix and may just require a toss-the-loss scenario.

If the camera has vtx attached like LoneRC says any component on the board could have come loose, but should be able to find a replacement cam/vtx that could drop in place of the existing one but just depends how much you spent on it and how much time diagnosing/fixing is worth to you vs replacing and just using this one for parts or line of sight flying.
 
Unfortunately this is a mini whoop so all the components are tiny. I don't have experience with soldering yet. I'm thinking i should get the components to make my own 5" quad to get experience with putting a drone together and get the tools necessary. Including a multi meter
