I am in the middle of trialling a fix for overheating blackvues. I am first trying it on my DR400G, first test run today was successful in the area of heat, after a day out driving and getting home the blackvue is normally quite hot to touch, but today after I got home I took it off to bring inside and it was probably less than half the temperature it normally is on a sunny day. so far success on this.
Played back the recordings and only problem is the sound of the fan is there. although you can hear the engine sounds and background noise, the fan noise if considerably there.
What I did was dismantle it, took out the plastic plate in the end of it where the lights are and it left a big hole where I siliconed a 30mm fan onto and run the power wires to the plug where it gets power from and soldered to the board. Drilled holes in other end for increased airflow. forgot to take picture of it all damn it. when ever the blackvue is running the fan is running also. no more overheating.
What are your thoughts on this?? after a week or two I will do it to my 500G if it works ok on this one.
