Ok so here's an update.
I finally managed to dissamble everything up to the sensor assembly. A big chunk of fungus is resting on the surface of a really clean glass on top of what looks like the sensor itself. The diy diagram i refered to calls it a hot plate(?). Its the one that you replace with something else for IR conversion.
So i got it cleaned up and put everything back. Turned it on. Clicked here and there. The image looks good. But.... Some buttons are not functioning. Hehehehe. Im beginning to think a connection to the brain is also my problem now.
Dissambled everything again. Snapped those microscopic cable buses as snug fit as i could, but to no avail. I think somewhere in my diy process, i snapped broken one of those tiny little wires.
Oh well.. Some things are really best left to the professionals. but at least i got the fungus cleaned up :)
Bye bye, $50 cam.... It looks good on display inside my cabinet :)
