Hey everyone, I've created a short how-to for replacing the n900 camera. You might need to do this if your camera module has been damaged by things like the sun or a laser.

Nice start,
but you need a picture of the socket to go with it
as there may be complications.
After dropping my test unit in the swamp I thought it would be best
to pull the camera module and check underneath for water intrusion
before firing it up again.
No JOY whatsoever.
the little finger clamps gripping the side of the module
really need a razor otherwise they bind up and the removal
becomes destructive, which hurt when I found it was bone dry
underneath the camera module. oh well...
Those little finger clamps are (fortunately)
expendable to some degree just know this if you rush in
to pull your module.
Here is a pic
