Dismantle front-facing camera - Jolla General Talk Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

yurumi

Hi All,

as I work in a R&D facility, Cameras of any kind are not allowed. When removing TOH, some screws become visible and the camera also looks somehow modular. What do you think, is it possible to remove the camera and maybe disable some services without running into trouble?

Cheers,
Thomas

It does look modular you're right, but I guess you'd also need to remove the front facing camera module too.

Someone on maemo has dismantled his Jolla: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1402888#post1402888

Here is a photo of the internals...

Thanks for the quick reply! I now have some kind of "feeling" about dismanteling the device (which I really love). Probably I just have a shy look under the hood and then opt out (e.g. sticking a seal on it which leaves almost unremovable residues on the lens).

No problem and yes that might be the easiest way to avoid messing with the wiring which could cause the handset to malfunction and void warranty etc etc. ;-)

Perhaps you should leave your Jolla intact and get a really, really cheap basic 'no camera' phone from eBay or a friend maybe. I have an LG GB102, it really is as basic as you like, no camera, no wifi, no bluetooth, no 3G, no memory slot, etc.
It really is just for text and calls, a phone that would more likely give your R&D department a right laugh than cause for concern! :)
Or, change your job, but don't wreck your Jolla!
Just a thought, that's all.

Howdy, Stranger!
