Post by: tapdisbong on March 10, 2009, 01:28:51 PM

I dont know which size drill bit I used, but you just start with really small one and work your way up.  As far the switch, Rat Shack has some. 

Are you doing this mod on a phat?

Where are u gonna put it at on the phat?  UMD area, or WIFI/MS area?  Yeah those are the slide switches.  U dont really need a diagram, you pretty much just solder wires, respectively where they should go and wire up the switch on d+.

Under the wi-fi area. did you do this mod already ? if you did what would you rate the difficulty on this ? (1 to 10)

i havent done this but i heard its hard to take the cam apart. probably not too difficult but definitely not something u would want to jump right into.

Taking apart the little camera isn't that bad.  There's like 3 screws and the rest u just pry off.  Soldering wires to the cameras USB port is also easy.  Soldering to the usb mobo is a little tougher though, just gotta be patient. 

Here's a good info on this mod on a phat:
