Hello,

I had some problems with the camera button on my cingular 2125 but I managed to fix it just by cleaning it with wd40. Unfortunately a couple of days after the issue with the button was fixed I notice that I was not getting any image from the camera sensor - just black screen.

The same time I was playing with the rom updates and now I am not sure if that might be a hardware or software issue. Currently I am on WM6 perfect english v6 and it works perfect except the fact that I am not getting any image form the camera sensor.

When I turn the camera app on it shows the loading icon for a split of a second as usual but then no image but a black screen. I can actually see the camera image area boundary because if has a different shade of black that the background black but thats it. When I turn the COOL EFFECT picture actually goes blue. Playing with brightness and other settings does not help.

Anyone can tell if it is most likely a fried sensor issue or some driver malfunction.

I think its a driver issue.

I've had the same issue with my phone. If I click on the menu and choose the Reset Brightness option the camera goes back to normal, but anytime I try adjust the brighness settings it goes to black and I have to reset the brightness again. Not sure what the problem is.

I tried with every possible setting in the camera app menu but nothing works. Also when making a video it records the sound but not the image.

I guess since there is not that many people with a similar problem I assume a fried camera sensor or some other hardware issue. I am trying to get a new camera on ebay but no luck yet.

Does anyone know if the camera for 2125/spv c600 can be taken from some other model.

The one from the magician looks very similar except the shorter data tape:
