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
you can try silicone glue, although obviously there is no guarantee to what extent it would be waterproof.
I think you better use an extra waterproof case to put your GP5 in it
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.
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.
Can you tell me where the WIFI card or antennae is and can it be permanently removed? Thanks.
any chance to geht schematics on the hero5 or hero5 session? I need to replace some components
Anyone know what type the clock battery is?
Thanks everyone that put together this tutorial. You saved me $130 bill from a repair shop or making my 5 an expensive paperweight!
Hello, Do somebody know what size the six screws showed on step 6?
