@beemom take a look on here How to fix a dead FLIR ONE and see if yours opens up in a similar manner. If so that would be the way to get to the board and the connector. Problem will be to find a replacement. “Apple Lightning Connectors” are available at places like Alibaba.com and others but due to their size etc. some good soldering skills will be required. We would need to see more of the board and how the connector is attached. You may also consider using a connector from a lightning cable or even create cable connection instead of a direct connection. FLIR does not repair their devices if they are not covered under warranty. They will only replace.

Lightning connectors usually just desolder themselves—-you can probably fix it with a soldering iron, solder, flux, and some epoxy, then use a flexible lightning extender to attach the camera to the phone in the future.

Is this something you have been successful with? Do you know of any videos available?
well sure I have had success--but I'm a professional microsolderer. I would try to see how I could split the housing in half. If you can't find how it originally came together then you could dremel it. Once you can see the lightning connector and the board, then post a picture and we can let you know if it looks repairable.

I broke the connector and I was able to replace and solder another connector which I recovered from a cable. The connections seem ok, I’ve checked and measured them one by one, but the phone does not recognise the camera. Did anyone else experienced this?

Bummer!
So now the question is can you find another broken one on eBay which has a good connector assembly and can you swap the part out?

It should be! Did you reach out and talk with company to see what they say?
I doubt anyone has tried fixing one as its a very limited market.

Hi Dan, yes I did. They said physical damage isn’t covered under warranty and offered me a half price coupon to buy another. It seems they don’t fix them only replace them.
