Taking apart the Ps3 eye

Now its time to take apart the Ps3 eye. the idea of this is to remove the IR blocking glass. this wasn't to bad to do as i was using a great video guide by PeauProductions (big thanks to you).

first i had to take the outer casing of the camera and once that was removed have to take of the lens.

at the bottom of the lens is a small peace of glass that blocks the IR light so had to carefully cut it out, easier said than done.

once removed a had to put the lens back onto the camera but where the IR blocking glass was i replaced with a few layers of photo negatives. once all back together i tested it on my PC as ive downloaded drivers to make the eye work with a PC from AlexP http://nuigroup.com/forums/viewthread/2921/

So its getting there just, slowly but getting there.

The taking apart of the screen!

This is the worst bit of the project as i know have to take the screen apart without killing it.
the first bit was easy as all i had to do is unscrew screws! then the fun started, i then had to unclip the bezel and was left with the metal casing.
i then took a few more screws off to reveal the wires under the casing but had to get an angled screwdriver to get to them. once unscrewed i then had to disconnect some wires to be able to get the first part of the metal backing off.
next i had to pop the rest of the case of with out damaging the ribbon cables or the screen its self. after around an hour i got it all apart but wont be able to test it until the table frame is made but im prity sure its still working.........i hope!

Next is the PS3 cam..
