Can this be upgraded?
I recently found that I own this piece of equipment and its a fine piece that was crafted really well. I want to continue using it, but I do not want to be limited to the crappy resolution given by this camera. I wanted to know if it was possible to open this bad boy up and reconfigure it with better parts to increase its resolution and make it into a camera that fits up to modern day standards. If it is possible are there any guides out there to show me how and a buy list of products that work? Thanks for your time and consideration.
Is this a good question?

Hey just want to see if anyone has successfully done this?

my camera has no yet worked although I have a 400 800 hook up. the camera has started to get warm. I'm thinking that's not a good sign. It is a bautiful piece of equipment though.

Ah cool. But I’m really hoping to upgrade the camera inside with some newer gear perhaps pulled from iMac etc. Has anyone succeeded in this hack?

Hi I don’t think this questions has yet been answered.
@mayer @devonmoscoso do you have anything new you can add to this? Did you guys give it a try?

Opening up the iSight was easy enough but reconfiguring the parts was more than what I was capable of at the time. There isn’t much information on it anywhere for a breakdown of its parts. I personally ended up buying the Logitech Brio and opted to use that. I could potentially revisit this and look into using a 3D printer but work has kept me from tinkering with parts as much.
