If your camera die...

Hi! New here, but I’ve been lurking for a while. Just wanted to share this in case it helps someone. One of my Google Outdoor Wireless cameras “died” on me. When I checked the pogo‑pin connector, I noticed one of the pins had become shorter than the others, so it wasn’t making contact. Since these pins are spring‑loaded, that one basically stopped reaching the pad. I ordered a new original outdoor cable and let it charge. It took a few hours before it finally showed any sign of life, but it did come back, so don’t give up right away. It might not actually be dead.

It’s frustrating that these cables seem to fail right after the one‑year warranty ends. As you can see in the picture, the cable looks perfectly fine; no corrosion, just that second pin from the right sitting lower than the rest.
