![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() DIY Cameraless Treo ModPosted By: Kris Keilhack on Tuesday, July 03, 2007 11:32:52 AM
TreoCentral member Dbetts has posted an interesting series of instructions on how he modified his Treo 755p so that its integrated camera was completely removed. Presumably, Treo 750 owners can follow the same steps to modify their devices as well. Dbetts used a Hong Kong-sourced 750v shell to provide a very clean and professional-looking appearance. The camera lens is absent in the attached photo and a simple "Palm" logo resides where the camera lens once protruded.
Obviously this hardware mod carries some considerable risk and cost. It's also not for the faint of heart nor for anyone concerned with voiding the warranty on their pricey Treo. But for users who absolutely cannot bring a camera-equipped device into a high-security installation or a courtroom, this appears to be the only current alternative other than Verizon's rare camera-less 700p variant.

Looking at the link mentioned, the camera hasn't been 'completely removed' it's just covered up by a new case back....thought that might be worth pointing out.
