Odd Camera Fault in Vario II

[dpswatson]

I have had a scout around and no one seems to have this problem so thought I would run it by you all..

I was using Schapps WM6 ROM (6.0) until a few weeks ago when I decided to upgrade to a Kaiser. I decided to reflash the Hermes ROM to T-Mobile UK's official WM6 ROM so that I could flog it. Now the camera comes up with no picture but Green lines. The picture reacts when the camera moves so it can't be the hardware - could it be a driver issue?

A hard reset does not work. Before I attempt a different ROM, I wondered if anyone else has this issue or had come across it.

See the JPG.

Cheers
p.s stuck the thread here in the WM6 forum because I think its s/w and therefore ROM related.

believe me, its hardware related...
probably try cleaning the camera contacts (if thats possible)...
It's for sure no software issue...
you should look after a take apart direction and follow it to clean the contacts...

Thanks, after a change of camera software and ROM it still shows. T-Mobile give two year warranties over here so hopefully they will repair to free of charge. Although if I can get into the handset without them finding out it will be much easier if I can fix it myself - HTC are not that good at admitting to faults with their products.

i have the same problem on spv m3100 and i am desperate!i don't know how but after sometimes and a lot of try suddenly the camera make good photo but after i put a new rom the prblem come again!did you think is from contact?i should open my spv?hmmm... risky operation

i can imagine it's form the contacts... but a hardware failure in general (camera related hw) is the most likely for this kind of symptoms... if i would be you i wouldn't open it, if i had warranty left ;-)
