SG9667DC2K - intermittent power connection - is the USB port fixable?

[Steve_Parry]

Hi all,
Not sure whether there is still support around for SG, but any help appreciated🙂

My SG9667DC2K is having intermittent power issues. If I move the power cable near the camera it powers on/off and occasionally if I hold it in a particular position/pressure it will stay on enough to get past the splash screen and access the menu.

I have a spare SG9663DC that works fine and without issues when I plug it into the power cord, so I'm convinced an issue in the main camera, perhaps a loose connection to the USB power port.

Is this repairable? I'm happy to give it a go if it is feasible (bit of electronics experience, but not done much micro-soldering!).

Thanks!
Cheers
...Steve

pull it apart have a look, very small soldering iron and good skills can probably fix.

@Steve_Parry
You might be able to get away with just reheating the solder connections providing it's just dry or mechanically damaged joints.

Thank you both. I'll give it a go🙂
