Sounds like he's talking about the camera 5v connection, rather than the Digital sidecar.

If you are talking about the 5v wago (normally power for the camera), then if you aren't getting power from it, it has probably blown it's fuse.
Of course you can get another 12v-to-5v converter and just power the camera through it off a regular 12v output.
There's nothing real special about the 5v power on the Power Distribution board.

But you do want to figure out why it blew before you do it again.
