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?

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?

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

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!

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

Hi guys and gals,
I posted that on q&a but went unnoticed. Just want to check if there is hope...
My primary microphone is gone (water damage). It sits on the "UI board with vibration" under the home button.
Could only find it in two online shops, but not in stock for a month.
Now the developement part: is there a way to make the secondary microphone default -as ti is I see it is only used with camera. -This is for the time I wait for the new part.
Anybody has access to a new part quicker than in a month? Will settle for a used one.

Only thing I found was a micswitch, and all it does is changes the a1026 value in build.prop -or ment to change it, doesnt quite work here. Gave me an idea though, so I changed it myself, but makes no difference.
Since the primary stopped working I hear myself in the speaker, comming from the secondary, but for some reason that sound from the secondary mic is not feed to the remote phone...
Sent from my ST18i using XDA
Ok, we'll try it from another angle.
Cant get the part anywhere. Its still on warranty, I kight send it off, but not sure I want to waste time.
Is there any warranty seals that I didnt see when stripping the bottom plastics? As in, will it show at the service that I opened the phone? Also, wil they see "water damage" as they usually see -I didnt see any traces.

Have you try to clean it with this: http://www.amazon.com/CRC-05103-Quick-Electronic-Cleaner/dp/B000BXOGNI
or a similar product?
Thanks, I think its the lowest price cleaner I seen. Localy at my usual electronics shop they go for about 20.
I havent really noticed any moisture residue. Got the phone stripped right after and "hair dryered".
I'm just wondering, have they got any fancy x-ray os such that would tell them anyway?

Every smartphone have a water indicator: i don't know where is in the ray,but is a small piece of special paper that change color when get water.
sorry fo r my english...
Inviato dal mio ST18i
There is a water sticker on the battery and all over the insides of the phone. The bottom panel including. If even one of them is red, the warranty is not valid. My ray got dipped in water too, fortunately i managed to open it up and clean in fast enough, so no damage(except the lost warranty).
K, so I guess thre million dollar question now is where tyat sticker is oj ray. My phone only got the dipped to the top of home button (standing).
I'll chance it, since I cant find the replacement parts anywhere
Sent from my ST18i using XDA
Well, well well... just got the phone back from the shop. Warranty was a keeper and the Ray is fixed and good as new... or... as new. Lost root, toggles, and all the work done previously. On a bright - I can have fun doing it all over again and best of all - I don't have to rush unwinding the headset from the pocket just to answer the phone anymore.
Happy days.
Thank you Sony
hello guys, so after 3 days now i'm still having this problem: when i wake up the screen, for about 10 second the touchscreen is not working properly, is acting like crazy, this happens when i try to unlock the screen or when someone is calling me. after those 10 seconds, with screen on the touchscreen is working ok, with no problems. i have the device foar 6 mounths now, i've tryed with diferent roms and same problem. if someone else has or had this problem and know how to fix it please post a reply. thanks in advance
I saw in KA sony rom thread you also have this problem. Thanks for making this as separate thread to discuss this issue and find solution to this.
I was searching online and I found many have such problem and have all random solutions to it. like - offline charging the phone, landscape rotation toggle, headphone jack, press bottom of the phone hard etc etc but nothing worked for me
check out these links problem is discussed here but no sure shot solution.

I still have that problem, but only when my phone is charging... Whn I touch the screen it would jst randomly touch anywhere! I used the show touches option in developer settings in ICS and everytime I touched it.. It showed the random touches too .. But all this only happens when my phone is charging. Rest of the time it works completely fine.

yes, this mean's your phone touch panel is going to die. I also have the same problem, when i connect my phone on charger touch works randomly, when i removed it comes normal. This because i remember i used a duplicate charger and also tried different data cable which is same like SONY cable. So i feel this is main reason my touch panel gone and it is now on service center .
So if you do these all, please stop doing it. And use always SONY's Charger and Data cable to save your mobile from "TOUCH PANEL ISSUE".

My phone was with them for almost a month... Later while recieving the phone I noticed my phones front panel was damaged(the lower right of the front panel had broken paint) and the display electronic strip which should be covered was left exposed.. So they kept my fone for like 2months more.. No jokes! Contacted them every alternate day.. They always had the same answer.."we have ordered the parts.. It should be dispatched in a day or two" Thn finally I got my phone back with the front panel replaced.. But the strip was still exposed! I dint want my phone to stay there a month or two more.. So I let it be how it is! IMO I chose the wrong service center... There wer also others who complaining about their service... So now my phone has the touchscreen issue and a bit of the display electronic strip exposed inside the battery cover. Gave them my phone for an issue they gave me back with two!

I don't think its safe to attempt a screen repair without something like a blow dryer. There are plenty of threads and videos showing how to do the screen repair but I have always seen them use a blow dryer. Sorry I can't be of more help, in case you haven't seen the video I'm speaking of ill post it. Here is the video everyone goes to in order to replace the screen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vLUl9tlHSik&feature=youtube_gdata_player.

It is extremely difficult to replace the screen without buying a digitizer and screen set. A special machine puts the screen and digitizer extremly close together making it almost impossible to take the screen and digitizer apart without breaking the digitizer. Its better just to replace both
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
If the phone you bought has a working digitizer and a working LCD, you don't even need to use a heat gun. You can just take the whole LCD+digitizer assembly out of the phone you bought (or opposite, because you open the phone from the back side and you take all components out until you are left with just the screen assembly). Then you can put your Vibrants parts there instead.

You can't flash a t959v ROM with front camera. Although if you'll find an i9000 ROM you like I'll get permission from the dev hopefully and port you one son that from facing works. You are talking about a vibrant with FFC right?

I'm pretty sure most custom Roms support a FFC now, there are Froyo Roms that support a FFC so I'm willing to bet a JB ROM will. If for some reason you have trouble you can check this thread out http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945791
