Hi guys please help ..I am.facing this weird issue since last day . From the previous well working condition wat i did was i changed the Vtx nothing else changed . Issue is this After some time the video turns like this . Some time it recover with in few seconds . Sometimes it last for long . In recovering i can see a reddish video comming out . You can see in the picture that the OSD text is not af all affected which make me thing that the isaue is not with the VTX ... so the next two possibilities are the Camera and OSD .. Any one had faced this issue earlier please help .

It looks like there is an issue with the camera. What camera is it? The runcam swift and foxeer hs1177, arrow etc can sometimes suffer from loose solder joints between the sensor and the PCB. I have fixed a couple of them by resoldering all the pins between the sensor and the board https://oscarliang.com/hot-glue-runcam-swift-camera/
Thanks for the reply .. no that's not the issue ... still facing the issue ... all joints are perfect .. it's like ... after a flew tap with fingure it recovers . Sime times it display those stripes on a tap . Any idea what to do . please help
from your description, and the fact that the OSD text is not affected, it sounds very likely to be a faulty camera with components falling off... not much you could do if that's the problem. the best you could do is to contact manufacturer support and ask for replacement.. if not, you could try to take the camera apart and see which component it is...
Even though the joints look fine, they could still have small cracks. I have fixed two ceras with similar issues by reheating each pin. I would not recommend doing it unless it is going in the bin anyway

If you can force the stripes by tapping the camera with a finger, it does sound like a bad solder joint or faulty component..
Tried glueing and reheating the pins , still the problem exist . Yea , i can make the stripes on and off by tapping on the camera . Still no way to figure it out which component is faulty . I forgot to mention everything happend after a crash though . That too with the cam facing the ground . I tied heating up the pins of the sensor and some other components . Still the problem exists . I think some thing beneath the Sensor needs the heating . Will try that too on some other day
Really , the oven used for cooking ? ( Just laugh out if am wrong ) Camera was Foxeer Hs1177 What should be the temperature and time if i am going to keep it in the oven and heat up Advance thanks for your help
I haven't tried the oven trick myself, except for drying drones and stuff that have been submerged (60-70C). But you could check out stingerswarms video about reflowing stuff in the oven:

I wouldn't recommended the food oven for solder reflow work. If there is lead solder used then there could become some lead vapor of the board and stay in the oven. That's something you don't want to have it on your food.
