Defy's Flashlight has dead.

---

Hi all, my defy's flashlight has been dead.

When I used the UK 3.4.2 froyo, the battery not saving.
Then I flashed to the Chinese froyo via nandroid. I took two photos with the system camera. Found that the flashlight was so dim.
Immediately, I flashed back the UK rom. But used the camera, the LED doesn't light no longer.

Is it the driver problem or LED has been damaged?

I need the flashlight!

HELP ME!

I guess its damaged if you are back to stock and also before it was somehow "dimmed" and now not working. Also check if its not disabled in the camera settings. Good luck!

I think the chinese rom actually kills the flash if you try it to many times. Must be a voltage thing.
Mine is dead to, and that happend the third time on chinese froyo.

I flashed it last time and at the beginning,the camera and the light worked well,and after i tried a few times ,the light didnt work,then i flash back UK2.2,It works again. Good luck!

I have tried all ROMs

I think that the flashlight problem is not caused by that fix patch.

My defy flashlight also become so dim and weak after flashed to chinese froyo

like krille said its probably a voltage thing.

in a german android forum someone wrote the same, providing "proof" by mentioning, that in china the defy is named ME525 instead of MB525 in europe/us. could be a hint to different hardware.

im not too familiar with LED technology but "killing" the LED with a higher voltage would exclude the possibility to "revive" it by using a different firmware, right?
