The actual microprocessor was render inoperable and it was locked out with a 128bit code which was unbreakable by our software (some of which can actually decode a winzip file, and if you know computers you know thats pretty hard to do) There was no physical damage to the chip it was just unable to function as a phone any longer.
Similar to the CIH virus which totaled 4 of my motherboards, if the base code is jumbled then you can't re-programme the bios part of the chip. It might work the same way with cameras, if the main processor isn't aware that there is an incoming port then it wont accept new data. Yes you can render a phone unuseable with a key sequence, but you can undo it, the only way to reconfigure a chip though is to use ultaviolet rays. A machine I do not have and cost versus buying a new phone dictated that Its a pretty mean feat I think, considering that there are 640 million film cameras in use on earth I not really worried > So what exactly was wiped by this "virus"?
