Teardown

Introduction

Eufy Video Doorbell 2K (Battery-Powered) a doorbell security camera that can be installed outdoors. Unfortunately for my unit, water got inside and fried a chip rendering the unit inoperable after 2 years of service. Since Eufy does not have a repair centre here in Malaysia, I decided to open it up and take a look inside.

note: Most of the images I took was is Portrait, thus images might be slightly weird or looks like it was rotated to the left.

    • Using a metal or plastic prying tool, insert it in between the seems. Then carefully lift the back unit out. Once one side is open simply lift it out from the front cover.

This is great. Any suggestions for sourcing a new battery pack?

My battery may be shot. Same as in pics. Where can I get a replacement?

Joe Guy -

I tried changing the battery in mine. Got it sourced individual cell and attached to the existing points (by removing old cells). It got really hot. Seems my chip got fried as well. Not sure how to check if there is anything else faulty than BAttery Chip?

Rishi Gaurav Gupta -

Hello Rishi, I am planning to do the same. DO you have any recommendations? Hopefully chip should not fry

Bhargav Mehta -

For anyone interested, the batteries are just bog standard 18650s wired in parallel. The trick is the soldering of connections to the batteries; usually these connections are spot welded, but not everyone has a spot welder.
