What exactly does not look broken?

If the camera application (and games supporting it) crash as soon as the camera hardware is needed/turned on, this is a strong indication for hardware damage (which doesn't need to have visible indication).
On the pro side: Replacing O2DS cameras is a lot easier than on every other model (no folding, no hinge).

Refer to ifixit.com for disassembly instructions. Careful with the screws: Garbage grade, soft metal -- they are easily stripped. On some consoles they are ridiculously tight. Use a good, fitting screwdriver and give it a light tap from above to make the tip of the screwdriver go fully into the screw head before turning.

Good luck and have fun!
