JasJam camera repair

Recently Jasjam's main camera and secondary camera stop responding (main is still showing some pink and green stripes). This happen probably because my phone fell down. Can you recommend DIY instructions for reconnecting the camera circuitry?

Camera repair
The camera modules on the JasJam are fairly self-contained but there is a tiny flexible strip connector that may have come loose..
If you are willing to void the warranty on the device with no going back, then use a Torx driver and case spreader to open the unit.. Check the little orange strip connector is fully pushed in and see how you go... You may get lucky!
Thanks

Desire camera module replacement due to hw issue

Hello guys,
I thought i might share with u my pain. The camera on my desire is not working, it shows only black screen whenever i launch it. Downgrading to 2.1 stock didnt help. Didnt work either in the ota 2.2 rooted rom. By matter of exlusion the only thing left is hw issue. Therefore, as i have no warranty, in a desperate attempt to fix it i bought a camera module on ebay. I am not sure that the problem is in the module exactly, but anyway there is no way to isolate it perfectly. So i saw an official htc video for disassembling (looks quite scary ). My question is - does anyone have experience with replacing parts? Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I have to regretfully annoumce that after replacing the camera i still have the same black screen in both android froyo and gb custom roms. However when i was replacing it, i saw quite a lot of oxidized metal on the pins inside the camera slot. Tried to clean them but definitely did not do a good job. I am the second owner of the phone so i have no idea if it was water damaged.... But its definitely very strange to find it there.. so probably there is lack of good contact. Any idea about a safe way to clean the pins?

ok, just a short update and conclusion:
after some googling I decided I will try to clean the pins up with rubber and a needle. First scratch with the rubber, after that with the needle (to remove the oxidized surface). However as the pins are very very very fragile :-D (and the fact that they were heavily oxidized definitely helped), 6 of them just fall even by the softest touch by rubber/needle (believe me, after the first one fell I became even more careful). So, after that I spent approximately 5 hours replacing the broken pins with wire from an old audiocable that I had around.
To my "surprise", when I turned the phone on the camera still showed the same old black screen. At this point I gave up and declared that I will not have camera on my desire
So, anyone interested in buying a brand new camera module for desire? :-D

I had this problem after I had the screen replaced, which I cracked. The technician damaged the flex cable while he was working on it. Luckily he admitted his error when he checked it and replaced it. So maybe it is the flex cable.

[Q] Broken GPS Contacts

I broke my GPS contact behind the camera when changing the back cover which was damage from a drop..
Any suggestions for a quick fix solution, possible to solder it back on? or do I have to take a $90 hit and buy the replacement part and fix it myself?

Front facing camera

Hey guys,
afew weeks ago, I dropped a 60lbs dumb bell on my phone, it didnt crack the screen but there was some clear damage.
The wifi/bluetooth (same chip) no longer works and the front facing camera throws out an error when it tries to initiate. I'm probably going to buy a new FF camera, anyone else have any experience with anything of the sort? maybe damage wifi chip fix, a link to the chip itself that would be soldered in, possibly? Thanks!
