Just in case anyone has a broken digital camera and decides to try fixing it: Be warned! The camera I was working on is ~8 years old and stopped focusing. So, I took it apart and found one gear tooth that was broken. The mess in the picture below is what I had to take apart just to get to the offending gear. Arrg!

The sad part is that most of it still works! I may see what I can throw together so I can use the little screen to watch movies. Probably won't get far, but should be fun! :)
