How To Repair A GoPro Camera (Sensor SMD Connector & More)
So, Alexander (musy) sent me 3 destroyed Hero5 Session Gopro's and in this video, I am trying to figure out if they can be brought back to life somehow. Obviously, I will keep you in suspense and not tell you what the result will be :P

Im looking for this gopro motherboard for long time. My old gopro have problem its freezing when start recording. I wish someday i will try self repair my gopro! Very nice video for learning bro. 👍👍👍

[@garamfpv]

I envy you so much for being able to fix that, bro🤩🤩👍🏻🍁🍁👌🏻

[@rowanballinger3690]

I could do the actual soldering and repair work on it but I would struggle diagnosing it. Well done livyu very good video

[@cwwCADAVER]

Love your videos.. I'm watching to get some ideas. I can't figure out What 34 pin connector that's on the main board to the sensor is. I see a few different ones on digikey but not sure what one is compatible..

[@TorontoFPV]

great video. Ever made one on what to do if you accidently used reverse polarity? I killed 2 runcam oranges cause they wire them up reversed of how must are

[@razvanzada8416]

Bravo Doctore!💪, multi nu stiu cat de mic este conectorul ala, ce microscop folosesti?

[@johncitizen3361]

Nice one. I have a session 5 that gives so card error, I’ve tried checking the connectors and all seems OK wondering if I need a donor sd card module or if something elsewhere could be causing it?

[@TheMadmacs]

first up, are you the livyu i subscribed to many years ago with the funny yellow hat on?... secondly, incredible job on replacing that connector, i'm sure a thousand gopro will be cooked trying to copy this repair hehehe, great idea with the coin on the processor as a heatsink.

[@LivyuFPV]

Funny yellow hat? Never :P And thank you!

[@notyet_fpv]

Hey can we use hero 11 sensor with hero 12 motherboard, my hero 12 sensor ribbon cable broke off

[@WildpixFPV]

🙌 I'm not worthy 🙌 I'm not worthy! Thanks so much for this gift from you sir, such a giftet man!! 😅👍👍👍 Hope I will find a way to calm myself for operations like this, 1 of 5 Session5 has display off and sd card stuck inside. Think I'll let it tho it still works fine with recordings 😂😜

[@MRdeLaat]

my session 5 has SD card error and wifi not working, what part has the wifi components?

[@ronnyrengkung7894]

Interesting video Sir...!! Thank you for sharing with us...!

[@junglistfpv8553]

Awesome, love your repair vids. Watched it all, don't have a gopro and don't plan to get one anytime soon tho. That said, I wasnt a fun of the subscribe popups (I would think people into this sorta stuff would be subscribed already, like I am!). Thanks for making this video.

[@LivyuFPV]

Thanks, and sorry man... only 30% of viewers are subscribed :(

[@junglistfpv8553]

@@LivyuFPV Totally sucks! I'm surprised by that number! Stay safe

[@Stepanhuge]

Thanks for the video, which microscope do you have or which microscope do you recommend?

[@LivyuFPV]

I have in the description the link to it, together with what other things i use on it. Simufocal is the type...

[@tristiucatalin1356]

Eu ma chiuni sa lipesc cablurile de la motoare si tu lucrezi cu contacte pe care abia le vezi. Tine-o tot asa!!

[@TheMadmacs]

i wonder if i could fit either a gopro lens or full module into a runcam 5 black or orange, the fov on these just isn't enough for fpv.

[@LivyuFPV]

just try a different lens on one runcam :)

[@plagueswift703]

Amazing work, thank you for your video!

[@mihdd]

18:52 The blue flashing comes from the gps module and means it is communicating to the mainboard

[@LivyuFPV]

The Hero5 session does not have GPS so that is out of the question... I will need to find a screen and see what the GoPro is saying. I suspect it is an error of some sort.

[@vjvenida3991]

My GoPro session 5 died after a failed update on GoPro Labs.. it didn't turned on again after the red flashing light stopped.. I tried directly charging the battery to a cellphone charger until 4.2v... still didn't worked.. what could be the problem?

[@dronesdopedro]

Perfect job bro congrats

[@DarylBleach]

Hey dude, I was told you might be after a broken/non-working air unit? If you cover the shipping I can send you my dead one

[@LivyuFPV]

sure, please send me a PM over on fb . thank you

[@BRadFPV]
