Camera thinks plugging in means turn on?

"Hi @jackurbs ,

As you have inspected the USB port and ensured that all the pins are there, that they are straight and parallel with each other and that there is no lint or debris trapped in the port enclosure, (use a strong light and a magnifying glass), then it sounds as though the USB port may be loose on the systemboard.

Try inserting the USB cord into the camera only and then, whilst firmly holding onto the camera , gently, stress very gently grab hold of the USB plug and try to move it side to side and up and down to check if there is any movement at all in the USB socket.

If it feels like there is then perhaps there is a problem with the USB port board connection.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a video or manual which details the procedure to open the camera to inspect the port. You may have better luck."
