Hi all,
I have just purchased a spare laptop webcam (the exact same as what would go into my laptop), so I can mount it above my external monitor that I use (the laptop is tucked away to the side, so it's very impractical to use the webcam whilst it's over there).
Anyway, I've received the part, and I need to figure out what connector would go into the board, so I can then try and hack together a usb cable.. and hope for the best really..
I've read that this is possible, but first I need to work out how to get a connection to the board..
I've attached some images of what the webcam module looks like. It's rather small so taking decent photos proved to be quite difficult.
This link will show what the actual connector looks like (it's the cable that would be in the laptop), so hopefully that'll help someone in identifying the part I need.
**broken link removed**
I believe the 5th photo is of the connector that I require.
If all else fails I'll just buy one of those wire connectors and hope that the wires aren't too tiny for me to work with when I chop it up.
Hopefully my question makes sense, please let me know if it doesn't.
Thanks,
Denno
