Thanks for all the replys,

It does look like it is not detecting that the camera is out. I do get the headset and two swoopy lines in the preview window in Internet Call. (The black screen was another voip application (Gizmo5)). Everthing seems to be consistant with the N800 not sensing the camera is out.

Unfortunately I snagged this one from Ebay as a Demo unit. I don't think I have much chance of getting a replacement from Nokia. I am in Canada and I got if from the US which means it is a real pain to try and return it to the seller.

I am wondering what chance I have of fixing it myself. How does the N800 sense the camera is out. Is there a switch in the mechicism. How is the camera electrically connect to the main circuit board? Is there a flex cable the may be broken, loose or unsoldered?

I know opening it up will void any warrenty that I may still have (however slim) but I have an electronics background and am able to solder smt parts. Are there any good How to's on open up one of these units?

Thanks
