2 days ago i changed(myself ) the keypad for my k850i an when started the phone
again it works perfectly but when i tried the camera the pics are over lighted but its not a driver thing

cuz i tried so many cam drivers but none works and i even tried to cover the sensor with my finger but still the same results
the pics are over lighted the sensor its not working anymore i think i damaged it some how even i didn't touch it
but ......... i remmber that between the camera and the speaker there is what i thought it could be a screw but i tried to takeit off but no use its not a screw but it looks like one, is that thing have anything to do with the light sensor or if is it broken
can i change it ?
thanx to all in advance

Have you tried cleaning the light sensor with a toothpick? I recommand to do so. And report back. I hope you get everything back to normal.

That 'screw' IS the light sensor.

Thats not a light sensor. He is saying between camera and speaker. Light sensor is below flash, opposite to the speaker side of camera.

it seems that the camera is still functioning except the light sensor, maybe you forget to attach certain connector or something. observe the disassembly procedure here to have an idea what/where when wrong

which photos over exposed ? daylight or night with flash ?

did you done camera settings reset/ firmware flash etc.. ?

by covering light sensor in both flash/non flash scenes, can you get any differance in exposure ?
