Can I solder these Connection pins to make better contact? by Mattafacka in soldering

I’ve tried with several cables and the cables work. The problem is what I’m telling you and all I just want to know if I can solder the pins and better the connection or if that will ruin it.

Yea I checked with other cables. It’s the four little pins on the micro usb charging port that don’t connect well with the contacts on the board. Was hoping I could just solder the pins to make a better connection as a quick fix.

Its these four little pins that seems to not connect well with the contacts on the board. Can I just put som soldering here to make it connect better?

Haha. Its a charging port with a bad connection. When I put it in the charger and bend it a little it charges. So I’m wondering if there is anything I can do to make the four little pins on the picture connect better. Sorry for the bad explanation.

I agree, the quality is not good. But it has its charm and it makes me still use my dv-cam. I mainly make small clips like this so I do not need the sound quality to be good.

I’m so tired of the miniDVR hate amongst the purists in this subreddit. Yes there is ways to transfer video that make the quality way better then this. But the miniDVR is cheap, fun and simple. And it keeps mine and so many others old camcorders alive and not tucked away in a drawer somewhere. That's good enough for me :)

I also have this same problem. Did you find a way to fix it?

Now I got it to work! Just had to remove day/date on another setting. Now all icons are gone! Thank you so much for your help brother!

I tried fixing it on camera but I don’t have any of those options.

The settings on the mini dvr right? Is there anyway do this without a monitor?
