How to bring a dead V3 camera back to life?

I revived a dead V3 once. Please review this thread:

If you drop a V3 and it stops working, it might be an easy fix

After successfully activating it, I was positioning a brand new V3 about 6’ up, magnetized to some metal, when it slipped off and hit the concrete ground. It would not turn on or work at all (no LED light or anything, holding the setup button did nothing at all, etc), and sometimes I even heard a sort of rattle when I shook it, so I thought I broke something. Rather than throw it away, I figured it couldn’t hurt to open it up and see if there was something I could easily fix. When I opened it…

Depending on what killed yours, you might be able to do something similar or see if that’s the problem.
