Hi All,

Ok the topic is supposed to read "Camera Light Problem - Its constantly on/flashing & wont stop"

I think ive got a hardware fault with my O2 Mini s (wizard). Recently the camera light started to just turn on and stay on no matter what. Right now the thing is flickering on off, and staying on solid. There is no pattern to it at all.

If i go to the camera and enable/disable the light, shortly after turning the light off it comes back on and flickers again. I cant stop it.

I have noticed that it doesnt require my phone to be on at all. If i turn it off and remove the battery, then simply put the battery back in without turning it on, the light comes on. It comes back on as soon as the battery is connected.

Do you think there is any solution other than contacting O2 with a hardware fault? (only had it about 2 months).

Cheers,
D.

It's a hardware issue for sure.
Try shaking the device, maybe youve got a small particle short-circuiting the transistor.
Or maybe you got moisture in your device.
I bet it's one of those causes.
