Hello.

Ever since I bought my Sony Ericsson K550i phone, the camera on it has been failing from time to time. It happened the very first time I slid the camera cove but was alright the whole week after. The it would come back for like a hour or so. But now it has been broken for the past 2 weeks and I have tried many ways to fix it.

The problem: When I slide my camera cover the screen displays everything upside-down. The colors also appear to be slightly "funky". Every time when I attempt to take a picture (With everything upside down) the camera sound goes off, but the screen goes back to my display, and no image is saved.

The things I've tried:

Turn on-off
Reset the phone
Master reset


I also tried to get another camera driver but I couldn't figure how to do it.

Now I need some advice.. Is there any way that I can fix this or should I try and get a new one from the store?

Thanks. Thorkell.
