Flip Video: Camera does not work, and crashes after a few seconds after startup

Wed, 12 Jun 2024 04:31:06 -0700

I found this Flip Video Mino (1st gen not HD) in an attic and, it worked, to an extent. Because when It was done charging, I noticed so many problems. The camera feed was just a black screen with a few glitches here and there, and after a few seconds, it crashes! It’s literally the equivalent of a usb drive with a screen and buttons. I don’t know how to take it apart because every website I look on just talks about the HD model, and I don’t even know what’s wrong. Is it done for?
