Everything cooks in a car. The battery in my visor Bluetooth speaker had cooked. Once replaced, it worked like new. The dash cam had one SMD electrolytic capacitor next to the brown glue of death. I was able to replace the cap and remove the glue, that took care of the issue. Good job on your dash cam, lots of delicate cables to mess with 😮
I've had a few dashcams in my car and they all went the same way.....knackered battery, and yes likely due to heat. The only one that hasn't is my NextBase cam which has been running perfectly for many years.
The welder works best when pushed down, BUT NOT pushed down hard. All you are trying to do is fuse the top strip to the underlying surface over as wide an area as possible.
Used to have a Navman MiVue Dashcam for years, got rid of it years ago, absolutely useless thing. Had several over the years from 2010 to 2019, the last one I had (Which might have been the 580), the last straw was being unable to turn off the stupid detection crap, I would drive down a corrugated road and it would be forever switching from driving mode to 'OMG YOU HIT SOMETHING' mode and then back again every few seconds. I found they also chewed through SD cards like they were going out of fashion. I had a Navman GPS from 2010 to around 2014, got rid of it and switched to Garmin when Navman refused to do anything more than 2yrs of free map updates while TomTom and Garmin were doing free map updates for the life of the device.
Hi Scott I bought a habotest ht118e (I think same as kaiweets), in first try I installed new batteries and meter give ErrE low voltage error in all mods , I checked voltage of batteries they are fine Do you have any suggestion or I send for warranty ? I love your videos ❤
Sun, glass, and black plastic is not a good mix. Once worked on a panel that had to withstand the sun shining through a cockpit canopy in a very hot and sunny part of the world. We tested it to their requirements and the polycarbonate went soft, how they expected a pilot to be able to get in and fly the thing I don't know. They must have had pilots who had hot milk on their Weetabix. 🙂
@@TheDefpom They must be made of hard stuff, I'm sure if you kept an un gloved finger on one of our buttons after it had been on for a few minutes it would leave a burn mark in the shape of the text. two 28V bulbs in a small area can get quite hot. Need two for redundancy. 🙂

Nice repair Scott. Saw the 40x2 LCD on your bench and wondered what you were doing with it and the cam....LOL!
The LCD was out of the Boonton calibrator I did on the live stream about 6 months ago.
That is a great result Scott.
I also found with the Navman MiVue Dashcams, that the battery only ever lasted a few minutes even on a brand new fresh out of the box unit.

send it back, I don't know what that issue is.

The pilot is liquid cooled.
