Just as the title explains...

Got a w810i that at 1st suffered from massive software issues. Then once flashed and resolved, the phone wouldnt power up...It would only respond to a cruiser cable. I took the phone apart and unplugged each ribbon and tested to see if the phone would come on....When the camera ribbon was either disconnected form the board or the camera box itself, the phone would power on...The phone would even power on if the ribbon was still connected to the board, jus not when a circuit was made.....

Hmm, somethings breaking the connection the power up route somewhere was my 1st thought

Soooo, I unplug the camera ribbon , power up the phone then plug the camera ribbon back in and the phone stays on and the camera works...However, when the phone is turned off, it wont switch back on with the camera ribbon plugged in...

What the hell is going on here?!?!

Could possibly need a new camera ribbon, though not heard of this problem before!
