Anyone here cracked open their camera to adjust focus?

I bet you can text good while driving a cement mixer too? Hahaha
Step away from the device, and climb down the ladder before replying... Hahaha
That first slip/step is a doozy... ;-)
Talk about dedicated or forum addicted. What an awful affliction to experience. You have my sympathy. Hahaha

I had to come down to eat my bacon and egg roll when the apprentice came back with morning smoko..... I attached a smoke alarm to the cable to stop it dissapearing back inside the slab.

I just did this yesterday to my p3p. WOW! what a difference. I opened the back of the camera. Took the 4 screws out of the board and the 2 diagonal screws out holding the lens in. Then I removed the lens from the camera. Then I held the base and rotated the lens counter clockwise until the glue comes loose. At this point now you can adjust the focus by rotating the lens. Reinstalled and tweaked the focus until it looked like I wanted. Took the bird out side and it blew me away how clear the pics and video are now. I also own a p4p and I have to say it's very close to that now. What a great improvement. If you need any info on how I did it contact me and I will send you some info on what to do.
