Samsung Camera Teardown - WB250F WiFi USB Power Modification

2 years ago

Hello folks, BattTube here. Today we will be making a Modification to a Samsung WB250F Full HD 1080p Digital Camera I found in a bin. This Samsung camera model typically operates with a battery but can be "powered" by USB only if a battery is present. I only plan to use this camera as a 'B' shot camera for recording an Oscilloscope screen to be overlayed in the corner of the main video for example. Because of this, I have no desire to purchase a battery just for that purpose knowing it will never be a meter away from a USB port, It's a waste of a battery that could otherwise end up in the hands of someone who can really make use of it. Due to the odd quirk that only allows USB power with the battery installed, I have opted to install a USB cable in the camera with a direct connection to the battery connection terminals inside the camera. In the future, I may correct it with a surface-mounted or isolated Micro-USB port to avoid the cable dangling.
