Sony Cybershot DSC-W550 as digital photosensor for a zorki 10

Hi,

I am aware that zooming and blurring might occur merging these two cameras, the intention behind this project is not perfect images.

I've taken apart my Sony DSC-W550 and have removed the lens completely. I've got the photosensor to shoot when I had the lens still plugged to the camera, but with the photosensor removed from the lens. As I've taken apart the lens, the camera won't allow me to shoot pictures, and I'm getting this error message "Turn the power off and on again”, which is a known error for lens problems on the Sony Cybershot. 
My question is, does anyone have any experience in working around this error message, without having the lens attached? The photosensor is still active, and it seems like it is purely software that is blocking me shooting without the lens. 
Kind regards,
Kristoffer
