One thing to look out for after extracting the board from the housing, well this is how mine went anyway.
I found that there was one wire (thicker black one) that appeared to have come away from the pcb. There were five wires, five solder pads, but this wire was hanging loose above the pad. I soldered the wire back on, but the camera wouldn't work. I checked for shorts, breakages, and whatever else for a while, but found nothing. The only thing different was that I'd soldered that wire on, so I desoldered it, and the camera fired up again.

Cheers,
Jason
