Hi all,
I've seen several posts relating to Owl PFs with broken circuit board traces. ###None of my Owl PFs have broken yet, so I've never dissected one to see how this can be fixed. ###If anyone here has a confirmed dead Owl PF and wants to donate its body for "research" purposes, you could send the dead cam to me and I’ll try to determine a way to fix this problem - maybe post some repair pics to Jesses camera page. ###Send an e-mail if interested.

I would be happy to send mine, but since I am kinda like my 4 year-old, and I want to know how things work; I have already taken mine apart. ###I now have several "parts" that maybe can be used at a later time.

I also found out that these things can still shock you even after you have taken them apart. ###I touched something last night on my camera, and the crazy thing shocked me and set off the flash at the same time :)
