Dead Camera after cold snap

[Sprey]

Done it!

Yes it is also held on with double sided tape (quite well)

1st off you need to undo the 2 middle nuts (out off the 6) and slide off the 2 tin clips from the plastic lugs. Then I took one of the babys solid plastic dinner knives and sharpened it with an angle grinder (while the missus wasn't looking). Then I pushed it between the plastic half moon cover and the metal boot and followed it around the outside. Worked a treat, now I can remove the other 4 nuts and take off the camera.

Hope this helps (and you have a plastic knife to hand )

Sweet good job! Glad it worked out.
As we all love pics would you mind taking pics of the setup etc?

That sounds promising - I'll prob try it at the weekend. Love to see pics of the half moon removed. Hope you get your camera working. If I find my camera is ok but not the cover I'm thinking of replacing the moving cover with a piece of persplex (if the cover isn't an easy fix) as if it failed once it sure will fail again just when I need to use the camera.

Ok here are 2 pics, the camera would also normally be behind this cover but I already have that in bits trying to fix it.

And Yes I know I need to sort out the date on the camera, just another job on the list (at the bottom of the list)

I have now dismantled the camera and can confirm that the camera does have a protective metal cover that driven open by a geared motor, mine closes but dosen't open

my camera is mounted on my license plate with no extra cover. All these other fancy features are neat but end up costing more money to fix KISS
