Abstract
A method of remanufacturing a one-time-use camera having the following steps. Cutting a protuberance off a main body part of the camera at a hollowed-out space in the protuberance in order to permit a standard cartridge to replace a modified cartridge within a chamber in the main body part. Closing a hole in the chamber, resulting from the protuberance being cut off the main body part at the hollowed-out space, to prevent ambient light from leaking into the chamber through the hole. And properly positioning the standard cartridge in the chamber.
