lg k20 endoscope not working

ok i have the lg k20 and i also have an endoscope and i just can't get it to work on any on my phones. but i use the lg k20 for the most part so can anyone tell me if these phones will run the endoscope cameras? i installed a bunch of apps and not one shows the camera and they all say no usb device found. but if i plug the phone into my pc i see it in the folders i have setup for or if i look at drives it is there. as the lg k20.

so if this phone has the ability to run the endoscope type cameras then i amy have one that went bad. i can't tell if the pc will run it as the cd it came with is in china not english and the pc does not come up with an auto translate with this cd. and the qr code brings up apk programs and my phone will not take them further.

so if thsi phone can run these endoscopes maybe someone can reply with the models they use or maybe a program i can download on the pc to test my endoscope. thanks

i really have no idea of the kind i got it a few years ago from ebay and i did ahve it working on a phone back then but i can't remember the phone it was on. i tried all the phones i have now and it fails.

the instructions do not have any kind of specs. on some phones the lights on the camera works and fails on a few other hines. it turns on when i plug it into the pc but the cd that i got with it is chinese and i have no clue what buttons i need to push so i closed that cd and took out the camera. that is the best i can give you. i tried a few otg apps and they tell me my phone is not compatible but when i look up the phone on the lg site is says otg compatible. and i turned on developer mode and check a few items there to help and this endoscope camera still fails. that is why i ask just in case someone has an endoscope that works with the lg k20 and then can say what it is.

the one i got looks like this one from ebay. thanks

maybe they are both the same, if that is the case like i said above you might have to use an older phone.

i will check this one out. my phones are 7.0 and older. thanks. i'm thinking that the one i have may be broken. it worked once as i remember looking into engine cylinders to check the pistons but now it will not go. not even on the pc or the chrome book. but i do not expect much from the chromebook. the pc should have started it up. but i need a program and the cd fails to load one. thanks

the one posted looks just like the one i have. thanks
 
ok i got it to work. it turned out the wire came off the circuit board by the push button. it did not like the lg k20 but it did like the lg aristo. it is not the best video though. i have no idea how to focus it but it is now showing an image. so this is solved. i knew i used it before but maybe one reason i put it away was the focus. thanks
 
thanks. after talking to you guys it jogged my memory that i did have it working one time as i used it to see the pistons in an engine i was trouble shooting. so for s/g i took the brighness push button apart and found a broken wire. go figure. it looked like a bad assembly and it had very little solder at that point. anyway it works and now i can use it again for what ever. again thanks for the help. see even suggestions that may seem not relevant can help out. thanks
