This is a picture of my dashcam internals.
It seems to work fine when plugged in at home so I’m guessing car vibrations have compromised a solder connection.
Nothing looks bad besides what appear to be burn marks around the connections to the small batteries and the speaker.
In diagnostic attempts, I can consistently force power interruption by wiggling the mini usb power cable. I do get 5v across the mini USB connection when leaving it still.
I get 2.3vdc at the battery wire terminals on the main board. I have no clue what that voltage should be; perhaps the internal batteries have reached EOL at 2.5 years after purchase. I can not find these batteries online, marked “S0158”, “7.0F???” and “KAMC???”
They seem very small physically to be 7 Farad capacitors, at least given my familiarity with car audio capacitors. They are glued in place and I can not discern if there are more characters following both “7.0F” and “KAMC” although there looks to be an “A” or “M” after “KAMC”
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I would rather not replace if it can be saved since they are Mini USB- so I would like to avoid having to rerun the wire for my rear camera and I also spent about $30 on adapters to try and get a USB C hardwire kit to work with it because I initially assumed my hardwire kit had failed after the camera continued to work with a new wire from my cigarette lighter.
