My sony ericsson w800 has recently developed a fault with the camera, the camera will bring up the screens to take a pic but when i try to take a pic it just returns to the home screen and the pic is nowhere to be seen could it be a software fault, a camera fault or possibly the ribbon that connects the camera to the main board? any help greatly appreciated Dale

Ican only think to manually update the software and bootloader to completley reset the mobile to an unbranded state, i have the software to do this , if you want me to do this you need to be aware you will lose all personal information on your mobile like phone book and photos etc so you should back them up before its done. If you want it doing, i'll do it for a fiver to cover postage and padded envelope (thats special delivery)

anyway let me know at drewishuk@yahoo.com if you want it doing

Hi, if when you try to take a picture, the screen displays what the camera is looking at to start with but only returns to the main menu when you actually press the button to take a picture then that is a software problem, if you goto the sony erricson website and download 2 pieces of software, 1, the application suite for your mobile, followed by 2, the sony ericson update software, you can get these from www.sonyericsson.com , once downloaded install the application suite and then plug in your mobile to you pc using the usb lead for your phone, once the pc has setup your phone , unplug the phone and then install the update software then follow the on screen instructions!

Hope this helps.
