what is the voltage, and capacitance of the main flash capacitor? diameter and length? I want to replace mine as my 'flash charging' symbol constantly flashes and flash does not fire.

thanks for the writeup! I have more confidence in repairing my 10+ year old camera

Kevin Kay -

the cap is 330uF and 90V

dimensions:

11.94mm diameter

25.65mm length

Kevin Kay -

How would I go about extracting the camera module and hooking it up to an arduino?

My cam got saltwater damage however it still turns on for a few seconds before turning off again
