> Remove camera in k700i
Bookmark topic
Because of my job I can't have a phone with camera. Because I really like my k700 I only want to remove the camera (physically, because only flashing the software probably isn't enough).
When the camera is removed there will be a gaping hole on the backside of the phone (http://cnn.cn/shop/k700-antenna-cover-p-77.html?osCsid=0b37cc7b24c05554c6868cc34360a80b). Is there anyplace where I can buy the sliding camera lens cover that was never included for the k700, or even better a special back side cover without the hole?
Is it possible to keep the camera light LED, when removing the camera or are they connected?
Are there any official places that does remove cameras from mobile phones in Sweden (near Trollhättan)?
I found this guide (http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=69266), but I'm a bit worried I will screw things up.
If possible I wanna be able to put the camera back into the phone, eventually.
Any ideas? I cant be the only one with this problem...

My suggestion would be to buy a non camera phone for your work place. Why should you do such things to a K700 and ruin it? A low end non camera phone is a much better option. Its all upto you though!

I don't think removing a camera from a camera phone is worth the time and effort. I'd definitely not recommend this.

I'm not sure if it's possible to remove cam since the lens assy seems to be integral with the smaller pcb. Have you thought about getting a new section of case, remove the obvious cam shape and fit a blanking disc over the area. A repaint in color of your choice. Swap back if you want a cam. Any good?

MOst certainly not advisable. Not to mention that all warranty options, if applicable would stand null and void. And its just not worth the effort

you may try to found a SE logo for the part of the lens, this will make it like a non-built camera phone, and u wont have to take out the VGA

I agree with mert138. Just cover the lens up if your so hellbent on this.
What if you get another job offer that doesn't mind you having a camera phone? Then What?
