Hi all.
Bought myself a used p800 yesterday got it for a good price (1000sek) because there is a problem with the camera. No my hopes stands to you all to help me understand if it's firmware or hardware related.

The problem is: when in camera mode everything that is bright or white becomes a spectum of color.and the screen flickers. But for about a half a sec. when you tur the camera on or change som setting the image is as normal.
Did a search but could not find anything that matched my problem.

the firmware is:
R1D CXC162002
CDA162001/1 R1F04

Do you think the problem will be corrected by a firmware update? Thanks a million.

Got to the camera settings, and reset to defaults. See if that helps.

Restore factory settings of entire phone -> close flip, jog dial up, *, jog dial down, jog dial down, *, jog dial down, * and select 'Format internal disk'.

BTW: if you backup all data befor that, and then restore it after format it still will not work.

Well it wasnt firmware related, so I guess it's just to upen up the sucker and see if it's a wire that's lose or if I have to replace the whole cameramodule. rats...
