Little hacks for a GoPro Hero 3 White

by ao2, March 28, 2018

Someone came to me with a broken GoPro Hero 3 White which wasn't turning on anymore, asking if there was a cheap way to fix it.

After tearing it down, a quick inspection revealed that the two flat-flex cables (the Shutter button one and the Power/Mode+LCD one) were both damaged, so neither the buttons or the LCD were working.

However, making contacts on the PCB traces of the Power button resulted in some reaction from the camera, so I knew there was still a chance.

One RING to get the... messages, and from Morse code decode 'em.

Mapquest: these maps are different. Hell yeah, they are!

It's just weird to see that Rome or Naples are not rendered on these maps at certain zoom levels while Avellino and Vatican City are.
