Webcam working erratically.

Kind of unrelated and off topic but I think it kinda applies to hardware glitches.
Different hardware and problem.

My Blackberry 9530 Storm phone that I have had for ages finally bit the dust. It took me a few days of troubleshooting
to figure out it was a hardware failure. You will see why when i descibe the symptoms and my way of finding out the phone
was the problem, instead of software or sim card.

I use a pay as you go simcard by H20 wireless that uses AT&T towers. I pulled it off the charger and it was SOS instead of 4 bars.
I did everything from a secure wipe. To a operating reinstall. The tricky part was when the phone powered on. I would get a 4 bar
signal display for a couple of seconds then drop to SOS.

Trying Manual instead of Auto connect. I could see my H20 tower and signal in the manual connection wizard. I would pick connect to this network. Loading bars and everything going like it would connect. But it would fail in the end.

I pulled the sim card and cleaned all contacts with a eraser. Then inserted my sim card in a good phone (Motorola AtriX)
Boom. It would connect to my network and I could dial out. So problem is not with sim card. Not with operating system (software). Logic tells me the radio would not complete the connect sequence for what ever reason hardware wise.

This happened out of the blue. Just being charged up overnight. I was a good working unit for a very long time. I liked that
it just hooked up via mass storage device as usb drives on my linux laptops.

I am just explaining my reasoning on asking if the camera may be failing. It may work like you say. But freezes are usually
in my experience hardware related.

I make my money fixing things plus I tinker. That is why I brought up webcam possible fail issue.

I could be wrong. For it is hard to tell when one is in a forum setting instead of having the hardware right in front of them.
Logic tells me from your posts.

First I installed 32 bit and everything was working perfectly,

Hello, I wiped the 64 bit and reinstalled 32 bit. Now I have the same problem with 32 bit.

So what else am I supposed to think?
