Re: 70 dollars burning up

A filter of just about any kind would do good things for sensitive chips.

If it was inductive kick, how long was the camera working? Inductive kick typically takes stuff out fast. If you're protecting against that, you'd want an inductor.

Check the datasheets, so you know the limits of the camera, and check to make sure, as Al suggested, that the camera is really as dead as you think it is.

My advice? Just double and triple check everything, and if it all checks out, run tests with voltmeters and oscilloscopes. Excessive? maybe. If it keeps you from losing some expensive hardware, it's worth it.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
