Where to Repair a Broken Dash Cam?
2 Answers
A broken dash cam can be repaired at the original place of purchase. If the dash cam is an original factory-installed component of the car, it can be repaired at the car's 4S shop. If the dash cam is an aftermarket installation, it can be repaired at the store where it was purchased or at a formal and professional repair shop. A dash cam is an instrument that records images, sounds, and other related information during vehicle travel. After installing a dash cam, it can record the entire driving process of the car, including video images and sounds, which can provide evidence in case of traffic accidents. For those who enjoy self-driving tours, it can also be used to record the process of overcoming difficult and dangerous situations. While driving, it continuously records videos, simultaneously capturing the time, speed, and location in the recordings.
I just encountered a malfunctioning dash cam, and my first thought was not to rush into buying a new one but to try fixing it myself first. The most common issue is power-related, such as a broken charging cable or a loose USB port—unplugging and reinserting it might solve the problem. If that doesn't work, check if the memory card is full or damaged; formatting it could restore functionality. However, if you're not familiar with electronics, you might make things worse, so I recommend visiting a nearby electronics repair shop. They specialize in fixing small devices like phones and cameras and usually charge reasonable fees. If all else fails, contact the brand's after-sales service center, especially if it's a well-known brand, as they have original parts and can fix it faster. Regular maintenance, like clearing the memory card and avoiding direct sunlight, can extend its lifespan.
