WATER DAMAGE to GoPro HERO2 how to disassemble and fix your GoPro Hero2
Here you will see me disassemble a GoPro Hero2 HD video camera. It really is a pretty basic camera. 7 screws and 1 sticker hold the basic parts together. So if your GoPro has water damage then this will be your fix.

I just fixed a water damaged gopro hero2 by disassambling it, dipping to
distilled water, then to isopropanol, then to 12% acetic acid and letting
dry overnight in the oven at 30-40oC with air. I am so excited it worked
again thanx for the vid!

Followed your instructions today, after a canoe trip exposed my GoPro to
fresh water. Was a few hours before I could get home, but immediately
found your video, and followed the instructions. Will let it reside in the
rice with sun exposure for a few days. Hoping for the best. Anyway….
big thanks for posting. Will update when I reassemble.

my go pro has drop into sugar water, should i clean it first or just put it
into the rice?

I poured cold water by accident on my cam 2 days ago, it had the open cover
on it. It got all foggy, but it kept working, yesterday it just died on me,
i guess it got moisture inside and killed it. Now, i hair dried it and left
it in the sun, and still don’t work. I will do this procedure, but im just
concerned i waited too long…
