177. Part 10 ka Sabse Important Lesson
Camera fault mein pehla question:
“KAUN SI CAMERA FAIL HAI?”
Agar sirf ek camera fail hai:
Specific module/path first.
Agar sab cameras fail hain:
Common camera power, I2C ya control chain dekho.
Professional camera formula:
POWER → RESET → I2C → CLOCK → MIPI → ISP
Aur sensors ke liye:
POWER → BUS → INTERRUPT/DATA → FUNCTION
Agar 4 sensors ek saath fail hain:
4 ICs replace karne se pehle shared power/bus check karo.
Agar camera app kholte hi phone restart karta hai:
Camera module/rail load ko investigate karo.
Aur MIPI/SoC ko tab tak suspect mat karo jab tak:
Known-good module + power + reset + I2C + clock
prove na ho jaye.
