I have a minolta Dimage Z2. During one of my trips, the lens cap fell off and the camera lens had a deep scratch. I am tempted to buy a nonfunctioning camera for parts on ebay but I am not sure how easy it is to dissassemble these digital cameras. Anyone have any suggestions?
Is it easy to replace a scratched digital camera lens?

If the lens was damaged accidentally, as it seems to have been, can you not claim off your insurance policy? Most household insurance policies cover you fro accidental damage.
Alasdair.
Usually the deductible will be higher than the value of a digital camera, they may jack up your rates too if you file a claim.
Hi...
I agree - it's probably not worth doing seeing as that camera is getting a little long in the tooth by today's standards.
However, just in case the OP does decide to go the repair route, I wanted to remind him of that very very bad flash capacitor in there. Be very very scared :)
Take care.
Ken
