    Hi everyone,

    On one of our AR0144 tracking cameras (M0166), a small component (what appears to be a capacitor) has come off the board. I’m wondering whether it’s still safe to operate the camera in this condition, or if this is a critical component that could affect functionality or reliability.

    The image below shows the component that detached from the camera:

    Thanks for the help!

      @Dronodev , this is a bypass capacitor 10uF 10V (0402) and it is used for one of the main power rails (digital power supply VDD). You should try to replace it, since without the capacitor, the camera module would be out of spec. You can use a similar capacitor, even rated down to 6.3V or lower (actual voltage is 1.2V on VDD).
