Hey, I received my EZ Robot kit yesterday at night, and I set up the camera and everything worked fine, at a moment, I noticed the camera wouldn't turn off, I left it there until today. Now today when I tried it just displayed a black screen, already tried pairing but I see that the usb is not receiving a signal as the lights just flash and after about 7 seconds they always stop flashing, always 7 seconds even if I don't press any button on the camera device. What may this be? I still can't power it off, the Work blue light is still on even if I press the power button for 5 seconds or until for a long time it won't turn off, thanks.

The blue light of my camera won't turn off no matter how long i hold the button. I do not get an image from it in ARC. I tried pairing with same results as DuxDucis.
It almost feels as if the power button of the camera is simply not responding.
Thanks in advance, Boon
With mine I didn't use the USB connector, I went direct to where the battery wires connect to the board and removed the battery, the EZB powers it and as the camera is only useful when the EZB is on it's not a problem that it doesn't work when the EZB is off.

As Alan suggested, charging the camera has fixed the problem.
I would like to implement this mod, but i'm afraid of damaging something; would you advise an amateur to try this, or should i ask someone more experienced to solder this for me?
Soldering the VCC and Ground wires to where the battery is/was is the easy bit, nothing can really go wrong there. The signal cable was the awkward one mainly because it is unclear in the video and photos where it goes, you need to look closely at the images, but even that's not too hard.
I would say go for it, just make sure you don't short anything when soldering the signal wire.
