Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓If your Rexing V1P Plus (also known as the Rexing V1P-4k) is not powering on, not displaying anything on the screen, or not recording audio, the device's motherboard may be damaged or faulty. This guide will walk you through how to replace the device's motherboard.
This replacement requires the removal of the device's battery. The battery on the Rexing V1P Plus does not hold a charge for long without being connected to a power source. To ensure the battery is safe to remove, leave the device unplugged for a short period to drain the battery of any charge it may have.
This replacement requires the use of a soldering iron. If you have no prior experience using a soldering iron, it is recommended to do some additional research to gain familiarity with using this tool.
