Hello everyone
I have this phone which camera was not working.
when i click on the camera on the main menu it opens the application but it stays shut with a barrier on it and i cant take picture and anything,everything is disabled.

I tried a restore but nothing
I replaced the camera with a new one but nothing
can someone tell me what can be the problem?
thank you

whats it doing.. I had one that was turning the screen green after i replaced it with another camera. I then replaced the new one with another camera and it ended up working. So try another one. my advice

it writes something when you turn on camera from menu or nothing happens, cause i had a problem with camera, when turning on writes that there is not enough space, and after reflashing all ok! solved!

cpu2007 · 08-14-2010, 21:30

it does not write anything
you know when on iphone you open the camera application and there is this closed shutter (spiral style) that opens.
In my case this shutter stays closed and all the button like taking picture button stays disabled.

Try another camera.. you may have gotten a bad one. Mine did the same thing with the first camera but then i changed it, it went, green(thought it was the board) ordered another camera and it worked fine.

I have same problem like @cpu2007, the problem is somewhere on logic board, and if someone knows the solution pls write.
