Hi,
I'm thinking of removing the Camera unit from my phone as camera mobiles are not allowed in my office.

Based on this, I'm confident that I can remove the camera from the mobile. But after removing the entire chip, will the phone have any trouble in booting?
I mean, while the phone is booting, will it be looking for camera unit and will fail in booting if there aren't any camera units found? I know this doesn't make any sense, but still I don't want to take any chance....
XDAians please shed some light on this topic! Also if you have any tips on removing camera, please share your information.
Thanks
Removing the camera is very easy if you know how to take the phone apart (don't break the tabs on the chrome trim).
And the phone will boot just fine.
This is my first time removing the panel. Hope it is as easy as you say.
And I'll look out for that tabs on the chrome trim.
i have changed the Mainboard a few weeks ago.
The hardest work was to split the cover.
Here the guy use a tool

i suggest to use your fingernails.
Second, there is a small white cable between mainboard and the board in the bottom.
Don't crush it, when you reassemble the phone.

this has happened over 5 months ago my screen had turned white with a bunch of straight lines coming down from the screen, this was after i was trying to update my phone and in which i had not tampered with it when it was updating. I've tried to mess with it when i took it apart to see if i could fix it, and after a few hours i got sick of it and just junked it somewhere in my room. Now that i have read the possible fix's for the screen, what i found out is that once i disconnect the connector to the buttons at the bottom the screen would just become white instead of the color strands on it. I've even tried to re-update it but the same problem still persist. If anyone has any idea how i can fix this problem that would be great.

Thank You For Reading My Problem
Steve
no one has any solution for this problem ?
can anyone help me please ? or has anyone had this problem.
Looks like Lcd flex cable may be loose. You'll have to pretty much dismantle your Hermes and see. Go to this site for HTC manual - http://michael-channon.spaces.live.com/
You should also PM Mike Channon if you really need help or advice as he is the Hardware specialist.
Cheers...
thank you for the help and the support bro.
Hey all
After two months of treating my HD like a newborn puppy, I left it alone for one minute at a friend's house and someone spilt drink all over it
All is well (eventually...) except for the power button. It acts like it's permently pushed down, so I always have the pop-up 'Are you shure you want to shut down?" and I can't suspend/wake up/turn off the phone (apart from workarounds) or even leave the phone turned off without removing the battery.
I've read old posts on this, and was following some advice from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520702, but I yanked the button up waaayyyy high! (see pic!)

Anyway, I want to try any tips before pushing the button-cap back on. Has anyone seen the insides enough to suggest where to stick a pin/lever it back up etc etc?
If it makes a difference, the end nearest the 'white' bit is pushed down into the device a bit - is this its natural pose or is that my problem>
Cheers for any help, hopefully one of you beautiful XDA'ers will have some help, a beer if anyone performs me a miracle!
Well my HD2 is now a paper weight not due to a bad flash, but because the touch screen no longer work.
The screen is cracked and a piece of it is missing, I'm not sure if i should order lcd screen, digitizer, or both. I attach a picture of the crack in hoping someone with some knowledge can help me out.
Also does anyone know of a place in Long Beach, CA area that can provide screen/digitizer replacement service at a fairly reasonable price.

$89 screen repair
Saw this on ebay might be worth checking out. http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-HD-2-Broken...0576654092?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item2a0b35130c
Don't know anything about the place just thought I would pass the info.
thanks for the info. I'm going to try to find a local dealer first before i start shipping things out.
That looks like a digitizer problem, does the lcd screen turn on at all?
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
everything works except for the touch part.
My HD2 is a great phone, wheather when its a WM6.5, or after I rooted to Android. I mean, come on, its been on the market for like 3yrs.
The only thing that sucks is the absent of a Front Face Camera
I found this idea below, which inspire me to make a similar thing to it.
However, the image will be upside down, with my little Periscope .
Is that possible someone make an app that make my camera does upside down?
There are some stock roms that has the problem with upside down camera, If someone could make a repair file out of it, I guess someone else could use those problematic file to create an app, that would automatically sub the original camera setting files into the upside down one, once you are done with your video chat, you could go back and reset it normal.
Possible ? I'm confident many of us are willing to make a donation, and the concept doesn't sound very challenging ( sorry, I'm not a com. sci, major )
I wish I know how to write apps.
Any input?

My Tab A 9.7 has lines/flickering through about 75% of the screen (closest to the home button). The screen is still usable (though barely at times) and fully responsive to touch. I've seen some reports of a loose connection internally, but nobody seems to have the same issue as I do. Some pictures are below:

Any idea if this is repairable/what the fix would be?
Hello
First of all, if you did drop it from a considerable hight it ma be a loose connector, if not, did you flash something and after that the screen started making this lines ?
Your best move will be checking your warranty, if it doesn't apply to your tab any more, try opening it and checking for any loose connectors, mainly the screen ribbon, before that try to look for a teardown instructions for the tab, sometimes they put the cables in places where it's easy to damage if you open the device without any knowledge of how to do it safely.
I had a similar problem on a samsung phone and in my case the screen was faulty, it shows flickering bright lines just like your tab. Replacing the screen fixed the issue.
Good luck
If you broke or dropped the device, then that might be the problem. If not, then it's probably because of the firmware.
If you have not broke or dropped the device, then go to Updato.com and press OS Updates and then type in your device model and it should take about 5 minutes or more to download.
Hope I helped.
