I have two of these units, and was able to get them up and running again thanks to your tutorial. The contact needed a little sanding, and now they work again like they should. Thank you!

I had to pull it apart again because I failed to see there was a tinted lens that goes between the lens and sensor. Luckily it was still sitting in the original lens. Without this glass everything looks really red through the camera. Camera seems to be perfect now.

Thanks so much for this tutorial.

I was able to swap out the old lens in about an hour.

Although it was tricky getting some of the cables in and out, everything seems to function properly with the new lens installed.

$16 repair, love it!
