So I'm having IR bounceback issues with my 3.6mm 5442 again. Went out and cleaned the lens cover and noticed that there are what appear to be a bunch of white pain flecks inside. What is the best way to remove the lens cover? Do I need to disassemble the camera completely, or can I pop the lens cover off somehow?
 
Subject to correction from someone who knows more than I do about it, I believe you need to separate the camera case and pull the camera board out of the housing. Here's a picture of what you pull out (this is a 6mm 5442).
