    Go around the gap between the lens cover and camera body with a thin spludger to open a small gap and the cover will twist off easily.

    • Be careful when pulling open the motherboard assembly as it is still connected to the back housing by four cables. The cables may break if stretched.

    • Using the spudger, slowly pry open the motherboard assembly from the LCD side of the GoPro.

    Modifier

    Little FYI ; pry slightly on the side with the LCD. Once it pops, work the other slightly. Then pull the board up and out but remember the cables. THE PICTURE ABOVE WHERE THE METAL SHIELD IS IS THE CAMERA LENS! CABLES ARE ON THE SIDE WHERE YOU BEGIN PRYING.

Hi

I took off only faceplate. Do you guys have an idea how to make it waterproof again? What can be used as an adhesive? Thanks

ramone4 - Réponse

you can try silicone glue, although obviously there is no guarantee to what extent it would be waterproof.

mattatron4 -

I think you better use an extra waterproof case to put your GP5 in it

Loic - Réponse

I used this guide to replace the USB port in my GP5. Does anyone know of a good way to hold the face plate down once it’s been removed? Not looking to make it waterproof again, just trying to hold the faceplate down a little better.

Mario Wong - Réponse

I would try either a silicone- or cyanoacrylate- (super glue) based adhesive. You can try to peel off the blue gasket and/or sand where the two pieces meet for better adhesion.

Be careful with CA glue. The vapors as it dries can haze over some plastics. I’m going to try silicone-based.
