Hey, my SE's camera has a funtion that stops it from working if the lens cover isn't open. But now the little switch that tells the phone the cover is open, is broken. So now when I want to use the camera, whether the lens is open or not, it tells me 'open the lens cover'. Is there anything I can do to maybe bypass that function or something so that I can use my camera again?

First...
What do you mean broken? is it just too loose? or it's totally torn into pieces
If you mean the first one then the lever switch on the camera flex is loose i think
it needs to be tightened for it to work properly. if it's totally broken, then you need to buy a new camera flex

You have 2 solutions here:
- fix the lens cover switch (replace it with a new one) or;
- apply the "ignore closed camera switch" patch on your phone so the switch won't function anymore so you can use the camera again...

You need a program called Far Manager... Here is tutorial how to use it:

You HAVE TO USE patches for your EXACT firmware version... If you use patch for different firmware you will damage/kill the phone and make it dead...
To check your firmware press >*
If your firmware version is R1BC002 I have a patch for it so you can use this one:

You do not need to doubleclick the patch file, select it with rightclick and then press the copy button in far manager.
