Hi!

Is it possible to fix broken adjustment screw on IP camera lens? (similar in picture below). This happened by turning it with screwdriver a bit too hard. 2nd half of the screw is stuck inside lens and it isn't possible to turn it anymore. Is buying new camera lens only solution?

Waiting for answers,
Regards

could try drilling it out, or try to hammer a jewelers screwdriver down there and turning it..

but more than likely you'll need a new lens if you cant get it unlocked
 
I'd try a little screwdriver first, then a left handed drill bit. They work well for backing out broken bolts. Once they catch they'll screw the broken part right out. Not sure how common ones that tiny are though.
