Asus Zeneye camera

This is one of very few posts that exist for these cameras. I guess they were never very popular. I paid 25€ 6 months ago for a working set of 2, with base. They work fine, battery life is good. They are waterproof. Or at least they are until they are dropped. I'm guessing mine was dropped as 2 internal mounting pillars are broken, meaning the screws with O-rings no longer sealed to the PCB.

Long story short, I drowned a camera. It was foolish on my part. I put the camera upside down in a gutter. It worked fine for a few days and I've plenty of footage with the camera submerged.

It's now in pieces to dry out.

The disassembly starts with a T6 in the base mounting hole. This reveals a removable outer shell (non-lens side, which is fixed) Careful unclip and remove this. Now remove all the 000 screws and off pops the case; to fully separate carefully jiggle the small pcb (bottom photo middle left) which will readily come loose.

Leave in the airing cupboard a few days and re-assemble. I should probably wash it in IPA or ethanol, but it was clean rain water.
