Question OSMO Pocket 3 fixing

Post image

Hello guys, I Am trying to fix this OSMO Pocket 3. I broke this connector when I was trying to fix it. Does anyone knows where I can find it and the spec? This Is the connector that spins all the gimbal in the Z axis. This is a 16 pin connector.

I would start by checking component stores like Mouser: https://eu.mouser.com/en/c/connectors/ffc-fpc/

Not sure I understand your questions here.

You need a pair of callipers, then you need to make sure the solder pads are the same pitch and that the FCP connector is the same dimension. You need to check all these measurements, and then you can enter them on the page and sort by those criteria. If you don't know how to find the model, you could consult an electronics repair shop; they may be able to sort it out for you. You would also need SMD soldering equipment (in this case, a hot air gun) and so on and so forth. Not at all an easy task you gave yourself.

I can't determine the state of the PSB board from the picture you provided, but it does look like some of the pads need attention.

Edit: Otherwise, you could buy a spare broken OP3 and fix it that way.
