Nate broke my camera. :(

Nate pulled my camera off the table last night and busted my camera's auto focus.

Mic wouldn't let me buy another, so I dove into it.  Crap that stuff is small.

I found one of the gears stripped and one of the stripped teeth lodged itself into the motor's gear.  So the motor just got stuck at that point.

I cleaned the tooth out and tried to bend the other good tooth on the broken gear back into place, but it broke off.  So the gear kinda slips at that point, having two missing teeth beside each other, but it does continue past.

I put it all back together and it works.  Amazing.

He's still cute, though.

(btw – I took the above pic of the lens with my telephoto from the other side of my office)
