Wyze Cams back from Dead -
Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2021 12:21 am
Had 2 wyze camV3 cams quit working - both would not power up - zero
Took one cam apart - was very well built inside -
checked with meter - No Power inside-
decided it was likely bad USB mini connectors had gone bad
because cams worked good till they did not power On -
Usb plugs in/out around 200 times - add dust - not Happy -
Cut USB mini plugs out and hard wired w solder connection -
Cams came back to life - Nice -
have a bundle of Bad USB cords even tho im pretty careful
plugging cords - need to get new -
rained last night so just put one cam out -
rain clouds with some moon looked Ok -
was trying to video X37 B space plane -
flew over 2x last night - one orbit was 84% and bright -
has been hard to get video/ photo of X37 B -
even when its bright and can see by eye ??
