Where do you get the replacement camera? I can't find them online.

I just did this whole thing...hoping it was a reset to the camera or something, but no, you need a replacement camera. Might be helpful to add that to the PARTS NEEDED part at the top, instead of saying "no parts required." UUGHHHH!
