Forcing a model won't help because if the driver is unable to communicate with the sensor over any of the valid i2c addresses used by your camera even if you forced it to use a particular sensor it still would not be able to talk to communicate with said sensor. Seeing as how windows also seems to be failing to work correctly my guess is that there actually is something wrong with your camera and in that case i'm not really sure there is much you can do about. If you want you could try the new gspca version of the driver that is part of the v4l-dvb repository att linuxtv.org, but if the microdia driver and the windows drivers are both not working correctly the gspc version probably won't help either.
