did you smash the lens of the lens of the case? the case is easily replaceable, the lens itself is not.

actual lens on the camera no.
The place on the case that covers the lens absolutely.

you can but its difficult. you have to heat up the metal screw the lens is loc-tited on (red loc-tite), then get that off. now you have to have another gopro thats not working with a good lens and do the same(more careful on this one) then you have to plug in the one that you're trying to fix with the tv input cable because you need to focus the lens by tightening/loosening the actual lens, when you find that spot you need to either glue it in place or use loc-tite.
