The motherboard is the key component to making the camera run. If there is a faulty connection, the camera will not turn on at all. This repair should be completed with care, as to not interrupt the flow of power.

Thanks for this guide.
I managed to open 2 of theses and swap the sensor-unit from one to another.
Unluckily the camera remains broken since one only shows a black picture - even though the sensor is alright an the other has a broken AF from a fall, I suppose...
I am certain with some silicone grease on the orange rubber the camera would still be waterproof.
