I'm thinking that once you have everything compressed back into the casing, etc, like usual and once the internal glue is set, then go over any open edges and seams where water would go through with some super glue, loctite, or similar that has the same heat and cold and PSI tolerances as the GoPro, using a toothpick if needed so it'll stay waterproof to the same specs. And before that application of sealer sets in, use like acetone or something that making sure beforehand that it won't dissolve the plastic, with a qtip to remove the excess. Depending on the sealer, you could use like warm water or something, especially if it's freshly just applied. Maybe this can work in your case. Good luck!

For the unfixable hero 7s: if the boards inside are fine and only screen, battery, lens or something is broken you can sell the boards. There is a small community that makes "naked gopros" for cinematic first person view drones. They take out all the unnecessary stuff (all the plastic, screen, lens cover, battery, etc) off to save weight. These could still be worth something and be useful to someone.

I suppose they think it indicates quality. It's like cell phones with glass backs that seem to shatter at the slightest tap!

i really really enjoy this videos 👍🏻

I love how you try to fix everything

Thanks!

I been a tinkerer all my life! I try to fix things just to see if I can. Even if I can't fix it I always learn something. Just like u learning about not going so deep on that cover. U might try a wider blade next time. Great video!

Always fun to watch these videos. When you tried to remove the screen, it shattered in a thousand pieces. When you first put some transparant packing tape over the screed, it wont get that messy and it won't end up in your eyes or fingers. Safety first 😉

Nice video as always 😀

Thanks, will do!

I had to replace my Hero 4 Silver's rear LCD. I have never spent so much time on any repair but did eventually fix it.

Crazy to buy 6 of these devices but great learning video! Thank you for showing us how to take them apart!

Impressive repair skill！

Great episode.

Hey thanks!

I really enjoyed that - like a mini voyage of discovery.

Hey, you gave it a good try. Thanks for giving us a look inside these GoPro devices.

Extremely Extremely difficult for the inexperienced. The little repir training i have helps me a lot. My go pro is busted up pretty bad whenever I get around to fixing it ill definitely refer to this video. Excellent video thanks a bunch. 👍

Great video. Greetings from Medellín Colombia.

Not as new, but usable. A good candidate to cover to use other lenses. Good job 👍🏻

Good video 👍🏻

I like your content man

Nice to see someone else fixing stuff, just cause. I've always disliked the disposable society. Well done you 😀👍

Excellent videos

I love watching you take apart stuff like this, how about doing a flat screen tv?

Maybe...the problem with those is that they're so expensive to ship.

Good job. I don't own a GoPro but I've seen a gopro front screen removal tool.

I did a pain noise while watching at 14:06. Just pure reaction to the pain!
