Slice and Dice
The steps in this guide should be split up and made into a series of prerequisite guides.
Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓The Nokia N900 was developed and released in 2009. One of the phone's most appreciated features is its camera. If your Nokia N900 is not producing quality photos it may be damaged. These photos will look washed out or blurry. The bad quality could result from scratches on the camera lens or internal damage. Use this guide to remove and add a new camera to the phone.
