Contribute a finding

Corrections, identifications and measurements from other engineers are what turn one person's teardown into a usable reference. Nothing here is precious — if something is wrong, say so.

You do not need an account to send this

Anyone can submit a finding, signed in or not. A free account — the same one as the forum — means your contribution is credited to you automatically, and it is what gets you the full-resolution source imagery. Everything is reviewed before it appears either way.

Most wanted

Three things would improve this site more than anything else:

Rail voltages measured on a working camera. Every figure published here is a datasheet nominal. Not one is a reading from hardware known to be healthy — which makes them nearly useless for judging whether a suspect rail is actually low.
An identification for U25 — QFN-16, roughly 3 × 3 mm, marked BT5 / 0206 / 947, no logo, sitting between the two TPS74901 regulators and the SoC on BMDPCB720C.
Timings from a healthy camera. How long does a resolution change actually take? Does the field of view change between 6K and 4K DCI?

What happens next

Everything is reviewed before it appears anywhere on the site. Measurements are published with their conditions attached and credited to you unless you'd rather they weren't. If a correction shows something here is wrong, it gets changed and the old claim stays visible as a retraction — a discarded hypothesis is worth as much to the next engineer as a confirmed one.
