5MP rear facing camera part number?
I dropped my A500 and it bounced on it's thin edge down a carpeted stairway. Ouch. After that, the 5MP rear facing camera refused to focus and displayed a number of "dust motes" whenever the camera app was launched.

Upon removal of the camera module I found that one of the two solder joints holding the lens assembly against the IC board was broken. Even with my "coldest" soldering iron I managed to cook the IC board. Ouch. Again.

Does anyone know the make/model/part number for the 5MP camera module?

TIA
