bring the camera to the meet on Thursday if you like, Paul and myself can see if we can help. We can at least inspect it and give you an idea what's wrong.

I've gone over it with a fine toothcomb, it appears to be correct. I think there is a loose track underneath on of the IC legs as it came away when soldering. I did my best to fix it but don't think it was very successful.

Mike,
If it a ToUCam you have mod'ed here is a link into the yahoo QCUAIG egroup showing traces for a no-pin lift mod. If the trace underneath the pin came up/off you can find a via elsewhere to recover the signal on.

Good luck!
