Thanks for the post. I was able to take this apart without damage to any of the camera parts. I am wondering if you happen to have the data sheet for the camera sensor, 704f? I cannot seem to find one.

Hi. I do not see where it explains the calibration of the Sensor. Could you give me some reference about that?

I reassembled on the camera no longer powers on, i checked disassembled again, checked for loose wires, ribbons, everything looks perfect and still it’s completely dead.
