How to dismantle this dashcam?
« on: September 16, 2021, 01:52:00 pm »
Hi! Anyone disassemble one before?
I'd like to remove the lens properly, manufacturer refuse to teach.
There's no screw on the casing...

Yep, I have lots of items like that. Although I don't have the item you are trying to disassemble, I would bet that it's snapped together. You need a spudger tool -

If you want to risk damage (because you have never taken one apart), you can try pushing and prying the case apart where it looks like there is a seam where two parts snap together. No guarantees of course.
I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

I don't know but I'd guess adhesive, like a phone.

those toolkits from ifixit works wonders for dismantling those pampers
even if i had a r&d electronics lab, i buyed one for smartphone battery personal jobs, proves useful for that new era of one-use designed hardware
if you don't like their prices, buy different ones, but that's the ones i use and recommend ( i got his one https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-307 3 years ago)

There's a bit of 'play' on the 'barrel' surrounding the lens. |O

Trying my luck again to see if anyone knows.

Might not be 'snap together' OR 'glued' but ... sonic welded. In which case, might be a 'dremel' to get it apart?  ;)
