The other reason I ask is because the mom of a good friend of mine is always getting ripped off or her car is broken into, they asked if the could use my new homebrew; I said no because they will just steal my cam when they see the flash.

You need to make sure you get the template for the right camera. I just wing mine but there are some templates around. Which camera?

What is the average turn around on orders from Yeti?

Sky,
I have a copy of the template for the w80/w90. I'm going to try to photocopy it at work today and see how accurate it is. Otherwise I have some I've made out of 1/4 ply I could probably send you. PM me your address.
Other guys who wanted a temlpate from me. I have addresses and will mail them today. Sorry about the delay. It was a rough weekend at the Joneses. I haven't forgotten, though.

You can make your own template in five minutes. Everything you need to know is already written here. Start reading.

BobR, I just got my W90 and they said it had a lense error, I tapped it on the heel of my hand and the lense will now open and close but the screen is just white. Any ideas?

Grizz, "They said it had a lens error" or did you get an error message on the LCD saying lens error?
White screen means the LCD is not working. The white is the LCD back light, and that is working. The LCD is not receiving the signal from the board. Could be a loose ribbon cable or it could be a bad board. These cameras are easy to repair, but you need parts from parts cameras. You can't just order one broken camera and expect to be able to fix it. Sometimes you get lucky but not very often.

Griz, Use the wire that came with the camera, and connect it to your TV. If you have a white screen on your TV, you have a bad board, If you get something else on the TV you have a bad LCD

BobR, thanks will do when I get home, I was planning on this just being a parts camera. I got it for $16 and figured if it wasn't fixable it would be good parts, between Baseball stud and I we are starting to build up a little cache of parts. The seller stated that the lense does not go out and images will not appear on the screen. I did the tap thing and now the lense moves everytime. I just bought another W55, one that works.
And if I press the shutter button it seems to be taking a picture, the flash goes off and everything like that.

My cousin is going to machine a block out with the exact measurements of the control boards that will mark all the holes for the stand offs and PIR that will sit square in the box, no more guessing to measuring and marking, if it works out he will be making another for the camera. He runs a laser jet so he can dial in exact measurements.

The holes for the control board and the PIR are clearly shown on the mechanical drawing on the yeti site. No need to make this all harder than it needs to be. Print the drawing. Tape it down and drill. I don't use any templates and I can do a case in 30 minutes or less. I measure twice and drill once.

I just got a custom board from yeti to try with the W120... This board is timed at 2.7 seconds which is kind of slow (about a second slower than the W80 board), but IT WORKS! Now I need to field test it!
