Hi got my son a cheap s3 mini i8190N
The camera does not work get camera failed message, (on both and flash does not work i.e using torch)
Taken apart looks slight water damage, cleaned checked all connections but still same
Tried all the tricks pulling battery, sd card, different software but still nothing when i do the secret number and check camera firmware i get null and cannot update/write.
Is this because all 3 are knackered or is it the camera controller chip faulty/needs re-soldering?
any help please thanks

ummm ok anywhere i can look? ( i have searched)
Just wondered if the null firmware meant the camera is faulty or the chip.
Not too worried about flash can get both camera's for about £10 so might be worth a punt.

Hello, recently, my phone fell in the water.
I gave it to an repair shop named "My Mobiles".
The place looked like they "couldn't" scam people.
After two days of "servicing", they showed me the mobile.
They said that sometimes the phone wouldn't on.
The touch screen was working perfectly, someone showed me the working of the mobile, unlocked the lockscreen, scrolled through the different home screens.
They would service for another day, flash, and return it back to me.
The next day, they gave it to me.
They said that the touchscreen wasn't working perfectly in some places.
I wanted to test it, they said that the electricity wasn't there and they couldn't charge right now.
I went home with my mobile.
I charged it for a long time.
Then, when I turned it one, I couldn't access the touchscreen whatsoever.
I'm pretty sure that they replaced the digitizer with an non-working one.
But, I'm not sure how to prove it. So, is there any documentation provided that says that can identify the id of my digitizer?
I live in India, and good people here are a million-to-one.
What can I do?
Thank you.

Hah, yeah.
But how do I confirm about the digitizer?
I have to confirm that I'm right.
So, how do I do that?
Or is it just better to buy a digitizer?
(I sincerely don't see any point arguing with a bunch of dumbasses in a room full of "judges")
How much would the digitizer cost and which trusted place do I get it from?
I would recommend you to take your phone to that shop once more..
They must fix any error they made..
Or it would be better to take your parents along with you..(if you are a kid..)

There are not much you can do, just go back to them and complain.
But maybe its not their fault.

Yeah, I did think of that, but the previous day, the digitizer was working, atleast accessible.
But, the next day, it didn't even respond.. I don't understand how that could that happen !
They did say that "it's an motherboard problem", but the mobile is working perfectly other than the battery and the touchscreen..
And, has someone used a new digitizer, successfully?
Is there any tutorial to replace the digitizer? I did find this : http://erkinson.altervista.org/en/sony-ericsson-xperia-x8-smontaggio-e-sostituzione-display-touch/
But, it isn't mentioned perfectly how to replace it..

Why not? It shows you what you have to remove(1 and 2) to replace digitizer. Then whatever you remove you place it back, while you are replacing the digitizer.
If you are not familiar with this stuff i advise you to leave it to someone who know how to do it.

Please dont say like that Bro.
If there is a Scratch on the Display of the Phone, but the Touch screen is working, then u can't say No Problem. Because its Damaged already.
If you want to sell the phone to someone he will say its damaged. Same in this matter also. If its Manufacture fault then i can ask for replacement.
I spent 650 dollars for this phone, and nobody want to buy a defective phone. i dont know this sony's design or some manufacturer fault.
So i just asked help from other Z1 users. I hope you can understand the situation..
Are you kidding me with this thread?! *facepalm* Call whine one one, and ask for the wah-bulance. Your phone has no issues. The insignificant nit-picky crap some of you people whine about these days...

I am just saying there is no problem, this is not like a scratch on the screen.
If it is not broke, then don't try to fix it.
If I were you and that worried I would have already taken back to the shop, got a new one and be sorted by now.

This and my nexus 4 has stupid alignment problem, it just weird that with new design software that they cant get the alignment right.
It's okay though, they probably had those problems on airplanes too.
can anyone Confirm this problem exist in every Z1 phones, even Japanese version Z1 also??
please Z1 users comment here about your phones alignment..
don't worry it's normal me too just like that in the image, as long as it works good then don't mind it.remember nothing in this world is perfect only God
If you want the true, your front camera compare to mine is a bit mess up. First time when I saw you camera I was thinking about kind of fake Z1.
But don't worry, my is not allineated well too and if you make good pictures you will forgot about that issue soon.
Mine is exactly like yours. So don't worry, it's totally normal! :good:
Not mine....

Very sad.. It looks ugly that out of alignment
My front camera has a little miss-alignment as well, but in different direction lol, anyway it works fine.
On my Xperia Z i had miss-alignment on the back camera and it worked without problems too!
hey guys, I have a really quick Q for u. Is it possible to only replace the Digitizer/Glas on the One? They sell em for really cheap and because my screen still works fine after droping it (hell even the Digitizer still works!) I hoped that i can just replace it. The search doesn't show any result when I type in things like Display Digitizer etc. Did anyone attempted this? I saw some people replacing just the Glass on a Galaxy S4 on YouTube but there are only a few really poor videos on YouTube about the HTC One.

No, don't bother trying. The digitiser/glass is fused/bonded to the LCD and is very, very difficult to separate, so you'd just be wasting your time. Buy the whole LCD/digitiser assembly, and you'll be good

They're probably torn apart for good.. Try if you wanna, but it isn't recommended. There was an article on the xda portal about this a few weeks ago. You should read that to know about all the risks involved..

Dude just send it in for repair ... if you try and repair it it's going to cost you a fortune every time you attempt to repair a part you'll destroy 3 others.
T-mobile has a Refurb you can buy for $312 cash

it's not a matter of Faith it's just facts .. have you ever separated a digitizer from glass or an lcd ? it's an 11 on a scale of 10 in difficulty
if you tried it 100 times you would get maybe one working one.
and you have one chance to get it right .. good luck
I went to a cellphone repair center yesterday to get an iPhone's digitizer replaced, and I asked one of the guys who worked there if they fixed HTC One's too, and he said "no those phones are on our blacklist, you try to fix one thing you'll end up breaking something else." I think it's best to no try to open up this device. I know how you feel though, you really want to try to fix it on your own, but I can tell you from experience, some devices aren't meant to come apart, let alone put back together properly.

for warranty, you have to check with retailer himself, & your problem is hardware related, so maybe rooting might not matter, but it is advised to unroot it before taking it back to Service Center....

good for you, mine is from UK itself, Glamour Red edition,but doesn't have any international warranty, so they won't repair mine..
Do they repair them or do they swap them for reconditioned ones?

After searching Ebay and other sites it looks like the not so expensive cameras from china are to bad according to the reviews. Some cameras from Europe cost like 50 to 60 euros, that's to much. So has anyone found a good camera for a reasonable price?

Sorry, I didn't see this.
I don't know really, I have looked around here but I still don't understand what blod-bricked means. I don't know the difference between different bricks here. The phone it is possible to boot in to bootloader sometimes, I have manage to unlock it, it does charge sometimes, sometimes not. I have tried some things but it is only working for a short time mostly. Now it's more dead than before, I have given up on that.
