I get an Error 404 when trying to view the iSight disassembly pics. My iSight just died and I was hoping to get some ideas on how to fix it from your pics. Thanks. Have the pictures moved?

It was always tantalizing looking through those little holes around the barrel and not being able to see anything. Glad you had the guts to do what I didn't. Cool!

I think that Apple was just using off the shelf hardware to build the camera, so it could be as cheap as possible. okay…that was cool. and I never would’ve thought of doing that. mainly since I want to keep on using my iSight.
