Hi, my T-mobile MDA had the same main camear problem a few days ago. I could open the camera, but the screen is black. After several seconds, every function icon was shown. The low res camera works fine.
I firstly thought maybe the main camera is damaged because I had dropped the phone several times(Dropping made my phone white screen, but I fixed it myself). I bought a new camera module from Taobao(www.taobao.com, the biggest auction website in China) and replace, but the problem is still. Yesterday, I sent the phone to a repair store in Beijing. After half an hour, my camera is back again! The repairer told me that there is a small chip in the mainboard is damaged (maybe because of my careless dropping), so replacing the bad one with a new one, the camera is ok now for me.
From the Universal service manual, the main camera does not work because of camera defect or mainboard defect. I think not everybody has the same mainboard problem to me. If anyone want to buy new modules for your Universal, I would like to buy from Taobao for you.
