Try a different ROM that is known to have a working camera. If it still doesn't work then you're probably looking at a hardware problem.

Not good, the camera is mounted directly on the main board so it not as if a cable came loose or anything simple like that. Probably the camera module came loose from the board.
If you're feeling adventurous you can take your X10 apart to check it out, here is a guide on how to do it. --> http://www.xperiax10.net/2010/05/10/xperia-x10-disassembly-guide/ but it might be safer to have a repair shop check it out for you.
oh! thank you so much GreatBigDog. i'll disassembly it. i'll report the result..thanks

Due to work requirement I need to dismantle the camera in the phone.
I'm going to buy the ATRIX and would like to know if it's possible to do that?
As I looked in android forum:
http://androidforums.com/motorola-a...-guide-everything-under-hood.html#post2328478
the camera is connected to several other parts in the same assembly.
Can you confirm that it is possible to dismantle the camera only
Thank's
Dude, just get a $30 phone with no camera (an old nokia) for work...dismantling the camera on a new phone is crazy if u ask me

I'm pretty sure you can't just freeze the camera.apk so I think your sol with any newer phone.

This will not work as they require full removal of camera so it will not be possible to make easy change to bring back the camera

In this case I'd probably pick up a burner phone for work... just grab a cheap pay as you go one. What an annoying employer.... to keep you from using your precious at work.. evil!

I know it's annoying but I don't like to have two phones. As you know a phone today is not just a phone (esspecialy when you take the ATRIX)

I know, man. It just sucks that you'd have to dismantle the camera. Would a soft mod suffice or does your employer need the hardware 100% physically removed?
Its not really "evil employer", its a confidential job. Unless you just work at Victoria's secret. They don't like cameras on the floor due to people wanting to steal designs.

Hello xda guys!
Like a dumb i decided to change the front cover of my sony x10 mini, so, i decided to open it and de-assembly my phone.
It was all so easy, in few time and simply i got all the parts of my phone not mounted.
So i began to re-assembly every pieces and all looks fine, but, when i turned on my phone, after all the boot image i saw the sliding unlock command was not working good
The touch-sensor was not sensing my touch properly.
So i decided to de-assembly it again e re-assembly.
After this the phone was no more sensible at touch!!!!!
What did i brake?
What did i damaged?
Thanks for helps in advance.
Hi, As I saw on this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpCb0oxd_3c), there are lots of wires in this device.
Didn't you forgot to plug in one of them ? Or did you damage any integrated circuits ? Must be one of these if it's a hardware problem. It can be a firmware problem too but it's kinda obvious it isn't seeing the facts.
Anyway, i guess you should go back to SE's 2.1 rom and send it back to the customer service, i fear that it would be even more damaging to open it back again :s
http://youtu.be/iyT618lVxUs
My phone is this.
Well, now, my phone is definitely a test one (warranty no more valid), so i can do tests.
I guess i damaged the circuit or the sensor abled to sense touch, just because, all the other function looks working good.
I'm not sure on a thing: should i resolve just changing the motherboard or the display?
Ah yes, I misread you're on mini, not mini pro. Well, displays are solid componants. Unless the ribbon cable is damaged. I see no point in changing it. It's easier to damage a motherboard.(did that on my pc...)
These videos are awesome but i'll never try that myself. Too afraid of loosing my phone !
Yes! This should be the way! Thanks for the precious hints!
Definitely resolved!!!
Just changed the frontal cover!!
Now my phone works like a new one!!!!
I just checked out the official SONY ERICSSON X10 MINI repair manual on a wiki homepage. If someone need the link just ask me through a email!

hi,
i have just got my sk17i everythign was working fine, i had to replace my lcd/digitiser, buy my rear camera doesnt work,
front camera works fine, but when i try to take a photo its just blank, it wont work,
will i need a new camera module? its the lack camera with ribbon cable. i cant seem to find one anywhere,
ive repaired the phone using pc companion to get it back to stock but it still dont work, ive taken the phone apart and blown the connectors and had a look and it still wont work...
any ideas? i cant find a camera module for it anywhere online.
any help would be appreciated
Also whats better? Ics android 4 or gb 2.3.x? Im a little confused. Does it matter what android version u use?

When you had your lcd replaced,the phone was opened up by someone right.
The connection of the camera module is very delicate as it needs to be placed perfectly.
There must have been some disconnection while replacing the Digitizer!
So take it back to the guy who repaired it in the first place.
Goodluck! :good:
Before changing the digitizer if it was working then definitely u should take it to the person who fixed it & claim it was working fine. & ICS comes with alot new features than GB. Try it to feel the difference :good:
And yeah ICS on Mini Pro makes it way better! Try it bro and goodluck!
It was me who changed it, I carefully took it off the main board and it sat in a bag untill my new LCD arrived. Could it need a new one? Or maybe try cleaning it?
Sent from my SK17i using Tapatalk 2
Ooooh.Hmm.No man don't get a new one yet!
Show it to SONY or some other expert.If all fails,Then replacement!
Goodluck!
cant get a replacement, cant seem to find one anywhere, its odd, because the front camera works fine, just when i try taje a photo all i get is a blank screen. ive looked at the camera module and connectors and it all seems ok. i cant find a replacement anywhere!! ahhhhhh!
could it be software related? i have krsh kernal and real icsr4, ive tried to repair phone with pc companion but it still dont work,
does repair phone flash back stock kernel etc?
How about static electricity damage?
Sent from my ST15i using xda app-developers app
Idk about the repair feature but you could take a backup and flash the stock kernel and the stock rom!
Try that man.it'll let us know if this problem is hardware related or software related

im just doing sony pc companion repair now, then gonna try. i took my phone apart while waiting for the lcd/digitiser and the camera module was just sitting in the bag of bits i had while i waited, put the new lcd and digitiser in then i have no camera, very odd.
where can i get a new camera module from? i have no idea what its called where to look, and i dont wanna buy a replacement if its gonna do the same thing.
very frustrating
Yeah very frustrating.
I'm in a crisis now too.my volume up button broke so it's pressed forever.so safe mode forever which means no sd card no apps.where do find spare volume buttons man :/
ok, quick update,
redid phone, and its stock, when i try and take a photo i can hear a type of "clicking" coming from the camera?
Camera still not workin. All I can hear is a kinda clicking noise every 3 seconds. Any ideas?

As I already told,
Did you take proper protection against static electricity before you opened up your device!?
Was the phone properly grounded?
Did you discharge yourself before opening up the device?
Static electricity would have probably damaged your phone's circuits

Yea was grounded etc. Its got to be the camera module but where the hell can I get a new one lol. Even replacing the lcd was a pain in the ass

Happened to a lot of people. It's a hardware problem. You have to send it to Asus for repair.

I don't think the camera needs to be replaced. I think it's just a loose connection. You can do what you want with it. It's yours.

My camera has stopped working with any app, even the stock camera app.
Do you think it's a hardware or software issue?
What do you recommend to do?
I'm on stock rooted firmware.
