Syma FPV Camera not working anymore

Hey guys,

So i have this Syma X5SW quadcopter. This has an FPV camera. I got this working the first few times. Easy by doing these steps:
1. connecting the cable in the drone, including lipo battery
2. Drone - Power on
- LED lights starts blinking on drone. LED lights on camera starts blinking
3. Transmitter - Power on -> throttle up down
4. Smartphone - Wifi Connect -> Launching app
5. Ready to go!

But now, my LED lights on the camera doesn't turn on and there is no Wifi to connect to.
So somehow, it seems the camera doesn't even connect to the drone anymore, not working at all.
I don't want to open the drone up to check, because it's just new (for the receipt).

But maybe you guys know the answer to this problem already?

Regards,
Frank

I flew one time outside in the dark, so for that I disassembled the camera. The quad didn't really crash, but a few small bumps on the concrete.

Then I wanted to attach the camera again, but didn't connect like I described.
Really, if this few small bumps broke the connection cables inside the base of the drone, it would be really bad quality.

But if noone knows the solution for this issue, I might be trying to return it for warranty.
 
Did you plug the camera in the right way if you put in upside down it will fry the board inside. a small crash on concrete is like a big crash on grass. Either could kill a cheap camera. Do you know anyone with a similar quad you could try it on.
