How to fix the Camera Start Error on an LG Dare LG9700 mobile cell phone
51WARNING - I will NOT be held responsible for any damages the methods shown in this video may cause to yours or someone else's hardware, including loss of use of such devices and/or loss of profits from the resulting inability to use such devices. Any information you choose to put into use from this video is done AT YOUR OWN RISK.
This video will show you how to resolve or fix the "camera start error" message that you may receive when either enabling the digital still camera feature or the digital video camera feature of your LG Dare 9700 mobile cellular telephone. This is resolved through dismantling (taking apart) the handy itself and repositioning the flash and camera modules into their respective connector socket slots.
Please keep in mind that in order to transfer, upload your pictures or videos from your LG Dare TO your computer or to download your photos or videos from your BEJVX9700 ONTO your PC, you will need the following features present and functioning:
Touch screen access (i.e. touchscreen functioning)
A Micro SD memory card
Either a Micro SD (Trans Flash TF) card reader or the USB cable that connects to your LG Dare.
If your LG Dare LGCX9700 is not set to save images or video onto a Micro SD card and you cannot change this function using the touchscreen, then you CAN NOT transfer images from your LG Dare to your computer, even through use of the BitPim open source software. Frankly, I think that it is unfortunate and quite simply a design flaw by LG, but sadly after many hours of research trying to find a method of doing so, I've learned that only through setting the LG Dare to save images and video to the Micro SD memory card can they in turn be transferred to a computer.
Update: thanks to viewer feedback, this method apparently also works on the LG Cosmos and Samsung Admire. Thank you to all those who have confirmed this fix with additional handsets.
