Bricked camera, solid yellow light, help? #213

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but worth a shot My friend had a Yi Home camera, and was messing around with the files on it, Not sure what he was doing, but somehow he bricked the camera. He's given it to me as he doesnt know enough about them and can't be bothered fixing it, so i said id have a look and give it a go.

When booting up the yellow LED stays lit and nothing else happens, I have tried loading the home_y18 and rooty_18 files on, from various repo's and just booting without the SD card, but nothing seems to work

At a guess I think he may have modified one of the core linux files and has bricked the internal OS

Is there any way to reload the OS onto the camera? Or is it only good as a paperweight now? Thanks in advance
