Introduction

If you have tried troubleshooting your camera and concluded the reason is because of a dysfunctional component inside the camera, then use this guide to take your first step towards repairing your device!

Tools

Metal Spudger Set

Step 1

Be sure to power off the GoPro before you start disassembly.
Pop up and pull back on the clip to remove the screen cover and expose the back panel with the touchscreen.

No parts required! What about the microSD/Micro USB assembly!!!! where to buy?!?!

Step 2

Use the metal spudger to pry around the perimeter of the panel.
Pry the panel upwards by inserting the metal spudger into the corner crease between the panel and camera shell.

Step 3

Pry around the panel to ensure it is not attached to the device.
Move the panel to the side so you can access the internal components.
The panel is still attached to the rest of the device with a ribbon cable, so be sure to not tear or damage the cable.
