Guys, i could really use some help on how to (possibly) fix my camera and flash (GOD i miss the flashlight)..

if you tell me to re-flash the phone.. im sorry.. i have no clue how to do it, even after reading the tutorials.. i can seem to find where to download the.. "custompacks"? idk.. thanks for any help at all..

p.s. when i go to use the camera, i hold the button down as hard as it used to take to start up (not hard), and once its on, no matter how hard i press, it will never snap or autofocus the shot..

About the flashlight problem: one of the two LEDs on my W810i died. Yup, it just died. Just before it died, it blinked dimmly a few times and then it stopped working. I replaced it with two blue SMD LEDs. I couldn't find white ones with the same size as the original one so I modded it a bit with two blue ones. It's working well right now. If you aren't the DIY type, you should buy a camera flex cable with working LEDs and replace it in your phone.

About the camera button problem: The same thing happens to a friend's K810i, although he starts the camera by opening the shutter. I'm guessing the button is faulty and should be at least cleaned, if not replaced.

EDIT: if your phone suffered mechanical shocks (i.e. you dropped it by accident) there is a posibility that the camera flex plug went partially out of it's socket. Or the contacts might have corroded, although my phone dived at almost 2 meters underwater and I haven't spotted signs of corrosion.

Artificial inteligence can never compare with natural stupidity.
