Hi everyone,


I was updating the firmware on my SJCAM SJ5000+ and I think I installed a version that wasn't the right one for my camera. Now the camera won't power on properly — when I press the power button, the light comes on for about a second and then turns off. No screen, no other response.


Serial number is SJCAM021601000796, if that helps identify the exact revision/batch.


I'm not 100% sure if my screen is the 1.5" or 1.54" version — I measured the display and I'm getting somewhat inconsistent results.


I already have DirectUSB downloaded and I'm ready to try the unbrick procedure, but I need the correct .elf file, since most of the old Mega/Google Drive links from 2015-2017 tutorials are dead now.


Thanks in advance — really hoping to save this camera.
