1. Turn off the power supply to the camera.
2. Disassemble the camera from its housing by carefully separating it around the corners (held in by pressure, not glue).
3. Unscrew the PCB from the housing, and gently lift out. Unplug the black and red cable from the speaker (marked SPK on the PCB).
4. Turn over the PCB, to find the flash chip as circled in [this image](https://github.com/wltechblog/thingino-installers/blob/6f7a453b869ec47d360379fff3f112bb8258004c/sonoff-slim-gen-2/PCB%20-%20Flash%20Chip.jpeg).
5. Locate and identify [pins 5 and 6 on the flash chip #TODO]() using the circle as the pin #1 reference point, then count counter-clockwise.

6. Bridge pins 5 and 6 by holding a metal screwdriver or needle across the pins, while connecting the power cable to the camera. Remove the screwdriver/needle about a second later. Refer to the creator's [YouTube Video walkthrough](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfeA8wOEe34&t=480s) for visual guidance (the camera is a different model, but the process is the same). It may take a few tries to get the timing right.
7. The camera should boot from the SD card and complete the firmware flashing process. Monitor for the `THING-xxx` WiFi network to appear.
8. Once completed, reassemble the camera by remembering to connect the speaker cable, screwing the PCB back into the housing, etc.
