Got about 5 years out the Amazon special eyoyo fishing camera. Got water in the fishy so she’s not too happy tonight. Anyone have luck getting replacement parts anywhere for these or just time to buy a new one? The screen and everything else is great. Can’t seem to find a place to just buy a new camera and cable to plug in.

I bought an Aqua view stealth model. 3 trips was fine. Today get out with the little guy and it’s all blurry. Thought it was the water. But something was off. Pull the cam out of the water and the camera had moisture inside the camera housing. You did good for 5 years. Lol

that sounds pretty awesome! thanks for the insight. that one seems to be only available in 15M cable tho.
You can fix the one you have. I did mine (even though Eyoyo sent me a warranty replacement, so I have two cameras now).
Just unscrew the lens cap, let the camera parts and glass dry, you can then screw the lens cap back and apply silicone around the edge. If you don't use infrared lights, you can remove the circular shaped light circuit board from the camera casing and fill the space with some dessicant before re-installing the cap. The dessicant will absorb the moisture from the air in the camera casing and prevent fogging in cold water.

ya i had mine all apart and let it dry right out, still had no image to speak of. i bit the bullet and bought a new one. thanks for the help tho
If you had enough water in the camera that might have shorted a circuit, in which case the only option is to replace it, unless you're an electronics nerd with a lot of patience
