Hi, I have a big problem, I don’t get the ribbon from Step 4 back on, do you got any advice? I’m running out of ideas how to get that in…
one crucial thing in step 2, upperleft (red) screw must be switched with botom left (orange) one. I have punctured my gopro housing with screwing an 8.2 mm screw on the bottom left hole... Besides that. very helpfull guide!
Any more detailed specs on these screws available? Need to but a replacement set, where to buy? How can I find them, size of the head, and the depth etc! Thanks!!
