By the way, the odd looking melted area is the rear camera cover melted down over the ribbon that runs between the camera board and WiFi board. If you look really closely, you can still see the letters on the ribbon. The intact letters imply it was not the ribbon that got hot, but more likely heat from the WiFi board. Maybe excessive heat due to a failure of the WiFi Board, or maybe a build up of normal heat from failure of the cooling fan. Just guessing, of course. You will know more if you can get the cover off.the camera plastic very hot to the point of melting
I purchase the drone new; the camera was a replacement also new and worked correctly for a short period, then went dark, my question Is if I purchased another camera would l get the same results.I wonder about the history of the drone prior to this damage claim. As this is the first time in over three years I’ve heard of a burned SD card, had the aircraft been crashed at some time prior to this discovery, which might have induced a short circuit?
I doubt it was a power surge from the drone. The drone has 1 amp fuse in the circuit going to the camera.my concern was a power surge coming from the drone would fry another camera.
