Abask A8 Photodiode Replacement |
|
Introduction |
The photodiode, or light sensor, is an essential component of any dash cam. It converts incoming light into electrical signals, enabling the camera to capture clear digital video. It also plays a key role in features like night vision and automatic adjustments to brightness and exposure. | | If the Abask A8 Dash Cam footage is producing blurry, distorted, or overly dark/light footage, the photodiode may be faulty and require replacement. Please follow this guide to replace the component. | | Before you continue, please unplug the camera from its power source and hold the power button down for 10 seconds to avoid dispelling leftover energy. You may also wear an Anti-Static Wrist Strap to prevent electrostatic discharge. | | While using this guide, please take caution when removing each component. There are thin silver ribbon cables and multi-colored wires throughout the camera that are fragile and should be handled with care. To identify the ribbon cable, look for a thin silver ribbon that looks like duct-tape. |
