Why/how does pointing a laser damage a camera? Is it fixable?
In: 0
Basically it overloads the photocell that actually detects light. You know how if you look at a bright light and look away there’s spots in your vision for a while? It’s like that. The photocell converts bright into electricity and the laser will cause it to make so much electricity it shorts something out or burns out a resistor, capacitors, or some other electrical component.
If restarting the camera doesn’t fix it then it’s probably not fixable short of replacing the sensor.
