Hello DashcamTalk community.
I am a 2 weeks proud owner of a Innovv C1 action cam , and must say congratulations to the development because it is indeed a stylish and impressive performing camera.
Now , I appeal to your experience in hope that someone could shed some light in my little misfortune.
I will try to keep this as brief and clear as possible.
Even from the start , the camera had a metallic rattling noise inside. Took it apart and to my surprise there was a extra mounting screw . Since it was already disassembled I added a 2mm thick AG Termopad (1.5W/mK) over the video processor to help dissipate the heat.
For the next days the camera performed excellent.
And now , my little misfortune:
I may have used a different USB data cable (was a simple accident) and suspect that I have damaged some components over the USB_DM track.
Took the camera apart again , set my multimeter to continuity to test the original cable and everything seems to be in order.
The other one has a totally different configuration. Pin2 and Pin3 ( from left to right pin1=GND) are connected. As a result I surged the USB data – with 5V.
The camera still works however it behaves a bit different.
It will charge normally, but it will not record on power. And also , it is not recognized as a mass storage device when connected to a computer.
All other functions are working properly.
In other words, it tries to switch to transfer mode but someway among the process the link is not achieved.
So I went back to square one and tried to identify what may have burned out.
From my experience, data transfer on most USB charged devices go trough 1-10Ohm resistor or some sort of RFC just to prevent overload.
I have spent a few hours under a magnifying glass and I am still unable to find where USB_DM and USB_DP lead to or what other components are involved until reaching pin F19 and G19 of the NT96650
Also , it seems that this video processor uses a 12k resistor to GND as a USB voltage reference.
Unable to find that one as well.
So far , these tracks (pin3 and pin4) go straight from the usb socket to a set bridge holes in the other side of the PCB ( located right near the negative terminal of the battery) and there I lost them. Makes me wonder if there are more then 2 layers involved on the mainboard.
Additionally, the black paint looks awesome but it my case it`s a bit of a nightmare.
If there is anyone who understands what I am dealing with, then your help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you!
