I followed this list, but I think I knocked a component off of the motherboard while I was unscrewing it. I wasn’t planning on ever putting it back together, since I have a newer GoPro camera. Luckily, the lens and the cable connecting it didn’t get damaged. Is there maybe a way to connect the lens to the Raspberry Pi Zero?
