NOKIA 6288 camera problem - GSM-Forum

soundcraft · 03-25-2009, 00:31

I've got this NOKIA 6288 one year ago and i haven't got any problems with him till now.
When I'm trying to take a photo I must wait aprox 30 sec , sometimes more, in order to save the photo.In all this time the phone is "frozen" . And sometimes give's an error "unable to open file". If I try the "flash on" the phone starts to act like an 'stroboscope'.
But "curiously" the video capture is working perfect.even at max resolution and hi quality settings.
Only from time to time i can take a normal photo(5% of cases).

In order to solve this problem , I flashed the phone with the same version of firmware v.6.43(at an serviece). But NO results!!
I changed the memory card. NO results!!

Any ideea?? Pls help!!
Thanks

Today I went to a service and replaced the module located right beneath the sliding keypad (keyboard) . Searching this forum I found out that this component is responsible for most malfunctioning 6288/6280 cameras.Is that right?? I also tried another screen.
And all this did NOT solved my problem!!
Tomorrow i'll try to change the flexible magistral(conductor). If this doesn't work , I'm OUT OF SOLUTIONS!!!
So please help me with some advices!!
Thanks!

Hello
Under upper side keyboard(small keyboard) a video accelarator is located.
In case of its failur ,the phone isnt able to work with cam and video file playback.
Your phone's issue is same as mass memory problem(internal user area memory or flash memory(card)),and you sayed that you changed memory and flashed the phone and hasn't any result.
check flex(cable)

i had this problem too. i couldnt fix it
i tried reflashing, replacing flex cable and camera.
but every phone is different problem, some ppl got it working by just replacing ribbon cable.
