I have a cell phone that stopped working and I took it apart and recovered
the CCD and was wondering if it would be possible to use. I think the cell
phone as a motorola RAZR or something like that. The only markings on the
CCD are 8488310Y, 0339751-111, and tw0518 Q X. It has a 20 pin connector
that is like tape with flat pins(not sure what its called).

I was wondering if I could turn this into some type of little camera where I
could stream the data to my computer. Is it possible to find out a data
sheet for something like this?

Thanks,
Jon

There is a semi-industry-standard for cellphone camera modules. Take a
look at the datasheet on this page:
<http://www.st.com/stonline/products/literature/ds/11766/vs6624.htm>

You might get lucky.

It's actually cheaper - a LOT cheaper - to buy camera phones on eBay
than it is to buy the modules individually.

I've seen the spares offered on phone repair sited for about 2 or 3
dollars. Not too much.

Interesting, do you have a URL? I looked for them through distribution
and they were very expensive in single quantity ($50 or more).
