iPhone 4: Will the iPhone 4 work with camera removed?

Mon, 23 Aug 2010 04:10:34 -0700

Hi guys, I work in a high security environment and want to use the iPhone 4 with the just the back 5MP camera removed.

Does anyone know if the phone will be functionable with the camera module removed? And what happens when I activate the camera app?

Thanks!

iPhone 4: Damaged Battery, Needs replacement? Safe?

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:27:06 -0700

Today I was opening my iPhone 4 up so that I could replace my home button. While trying to remove the battery, I experienced a lot of resistance from the glue.

While prying the battery out, I must have punctured the battery in some way and a puff of smoke came out with a hiss.

Terrified, knowing how violent lipos can get, I ran outside with the phone and it is still sitting there. I am not sure what to do.

Is there a danger of igniting the battery with further tampering or shifting?

Am I in danger if I continue to pry the battery out with a more blunt tool?

Can I still use the battery?

Thanks for the help!
