Camera Module for AT&T HTC One M7 32GB - pink / purple issue

[lalombriz7]

I have an AT&T HTCOne M7 silver 32GB with this camera issue. I am looking for the camera module to replace the damaged one but all I get on eBay and Alibaba is compatibility for 801e/s/n 802t/w/d models. I am not able to find which kind of model my phone would be. I have a part number PN07120 but that's all. It seems those models denominations are for european and international versions..

I have seen other threads where some camera modules are discussed but I can't find confirmation for an AT&T model replacement camera.

Does anybody knows which module will fit better for my phone? I even called U.S. HTC product support and they are not able to determine the model..

Thanks

The thing about that is, if you replace the camera module, it's going to fail again unless you repair the insufficient CPU heatsink/heat shield.
Probably cheaper (and much less headache) to find a used M7 with a good camera module and just use that phone.

Just got my M7 back from HTC today, after maybe 1 week at most of them having it. Fixed. Looks beautiful now, and I can finally take normal pics of my kids again with no purple. It's super easy - just wipe your phone for security's sake, call HTC, play nice and polite on the phone and tell them you have the purple camera bug and would like to mail it in.... you may need to work your way up a call center chain, but eventually they'll send you an email with a UPS shipping label and instructions. It's free. It's a known defect. My M7 was from AT&T initial release of the phone back in 2012 and they fixed it free here in Feb 2016.
