Did GoPro make an updated version of the sensor, or are all the ones sold on the web just the same as the one that keeps failing in the cameras? Do you have a part number for the sensor that is supposed to work better? No point replacing the sensor with the same one the camera came with as it will likely fail withing a year just like the original one. Please advice.
thanks for the instructions - easy to understand and carry out. my GoPro 4 is now up and running again
