Camera error 4003

Pls Help! Does anyone know why I'm getting camera error 4003 in the camera application and how to fix?

Call BlackBerry Customer Service to initialize an RMA for warranty repair. From what I have read, this is caused by one of two things, a corrupt software update that affects the camera or a physically defective camera. Customer Service may walk you through a complete Operating System reload or just exchange the unit for a new one.
While the PlayBook is running, you can try a forced reboot reset by pressing and holding the power and volume + button at the same time until the tablet's screen shuts off and reboot is initialized. Chances are this won't fix it but I have read that it can in certain instances. In my opinion I believe that you need to exchange the tablet for a new one.

PLAYBOOK CAMERA ERROR 4003

After UPDATE 2.1.0.1314 MY BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK camera doesn't work anymore. Screen gets black and I am getting error 4003. Can't resolve problem alone. Anybody knows what's happened and what I need to do next to activate my camera again? Please, help. Very disappointed

Get in touch with Playbook support. You may have to re-install the OS.

Playbook camera error 4003 error message

My playbook camera has stopped working and gives the error message 4003. I have the latest software updates and have tried a security wipe with no luck.
I can not find any working links to BlackBerry Playbook support. II have no warranty and do not know how to go about getting this fixed. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Scott

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
Error 4003 is a hardware problem, you can read more of this issue in this thread.
If you are on Koodo, contact your PlayBook support number and initiate an RMA. If they say your device is past warranty, ask for the problem to be fixed, they've fixed it for many and it is a known issue. BlackBerry has been good to replace these devices.

Blackberry playbook OS version 2.1.0.1088 camera error ( error.4003 picture)

As my first boot on my playbook i had to get a newer OS version version 2.1). i tried to take a picture but i can't take any pictures as it comes with an error message (error.4003 picture). how can i fix this? if it can not be fixed how can i download the old OS version of the playbook ( version 1.0)

That error is usually a hardware problem so I doubt you're going to be able to fix it. Read through this thread:

Camera App - Not Working "error.4003"

I am receiving the error.4003 for the camera app. This affects both camera and video modes. The front facing camera does not work through the camera app, but works fine if used via the video chat app. This appears to be a software error as the touch screen interface controls in the camera app are not completely functional or have a severe response time lag as compared to normal touch screen response time.
Apparently worked fine a month ago. Pictures taken looked great.
At first the error message received on the camera app stated camera was already in use. Not the error above is all I get.
I've done research via the Web and the only responses thus far is to send this into RIM. But too many people are experiencing this error and the posted ideas on other forums are either questionable or IMO not acceptable.
Also the screen capture cameramode works fine. No problems.

From everything I hear 4003 is a "hardware" malfunction.
It happened to me as well right AFTER the 1032 OS upgrade - how's that possible>?
Probably blows a resister or something.
I had warranty left -and got a brand new Playbook in return this week. The turnaround took only a few days by FedEx.
Why so fast? It can't be fixed - so they're just tossing the old ones and replacing them.
I received a brand new identical model (32g) - however it wanted to go to the 1032 upgrade step during intial setup.
i was hoping to avoid that. Did it anyway - no choice.
Happy to report - cameras are both working.
NO explanation of the hardware fault by RIM - what it is or what causes it.
If you have warranty - just call support. They're breaking it somehow - it's not YOU!
Get it replaced before your warranty runs out.

Camera errors since 1032 upgrade

After 2 update procedures to 1032 my camera still does NOT work.
Persistent error 4003. I also get the error "another app is using camera " when accessing Video Chat app.
I'm told that error is hardware related - but have a hard time believing it.
I have 3 weeks on my one year warranty and wil probably demand a replacement if no solution soon.
Hey a new tablet that works would be nice.

Camera Error

I need help. When I open the camera app, it says "camera error: camera is being used ".. My friend had reset the whole playbook many times, but still shows the same error. In addition to this problem, I cannot use the video chat. Audio call is okay. Please help!!! Thank you.

Hi nuescapn,
Have you done Security Wipe? Does the camera work after this?

Front camera error on my BBPLAYBOOK

on my playbook when i try 2 open my front camera its not opening . its showing camera error & the camera is in use .close any other instances of the camera and try again...

Best thing to do with any apparent hardware fault is
1. Restart (you already tried that)
if that does not work
2. Backup data and perform a Security Wipe (Settings, Security, Security wipe) and set your playbook up again.
if that does not work
3. Debrick.
If debrick does not work, call your country's RIM support number ( www.blackberry.com/playbook )Tell them you have already reinstalled the OS using Desktop Software (because that is what they will walk you through otherwise) Depending in whether you are in warranty you will then have various repair/replace/trashcan options.
Debrick.
Backup your data the best way you know how.
Make sure you know your Blackberry ID and password
Turn Playbook right off (i.e. Shut Down til black)
Download latest Blackberry Desktop Software to your PC or Mac and start it up
The next bit happens very quickly.
Connect the Playbook by USB cable.
If the red light starts to glow or playbook starts up, press the Off button til it goes off.
Because Playbook is off you will get an error message basically saying Retry or Update (on Mac it may say Repair rather than Update)
Quickly select the Update (or Repair) option
The Playbook will start to get a new OS that will take al least an hour to download via the PC
Follow the registration process using your current Blackberry ID
Add back your email accounts etc.
Reinstall your apps from App World, My World.

Error 4003

I have been having trouble with my BlackBerry PlayBook for months now. When we I try to take a picture it displays blank and error 4003 comes up. Plssssss help. Am in Nigeria where can I get it fixed? (2) may playbook also does not connect to any system, I cant take out my first files so as to allow me do a factory reset. I really need assistance. Thanks

WP Camera Error When Starting App

Sometimes on my Lumia 928 when loading Qik I get an error that says my camera didnt load properly please restart. I have to force close the app then restart it to get it to work again.

What is considered a "large" address book - over 100, over 1000? Just wondering as to the scale.
Also, that doesn't address the Camera Error that started this thread. Is this a known issue that has been identified and will be addressed very soon? Not to be snarky but a video messaging service that doesn't work with the device camera is useless.
In all seriousness, after reading the MS store reviews, and the limited comments here, it seems like everyone is complaining about crashes, lockups and needing to restart the phone to get the camera working. How could you guys put this out (at least without huge flashing BETA in the name)?? For an app that needs to go "viral" for success - for early adoptors to get their friends to use it - you're blowing it big time. Who is their right mind would try to get their friends to use this the way it is now?? As it stand all my friends think I'm some kind of fool for using a Windows Phone in the first place - and then for me to come out and say, "hey guys, try this great new MS app..." when it flat out doesn't work . Those of us using MS devices and services are your biggest supporters and want to support your ecosystem and for you guys to succeed - and we are also your critics. I hope you guys and gals at Skype represent the "new" Microsoft that is trying to listen to their users. If you are, please hear us - fix this mess. And stop putting out crap - or at least call it a beta so we know to expect issues. You guys need to be doing it BETTER if you want to catch up to Apple and Google. Please send Mr Nadella my regards.

Camera Error Storm2 9550

Sigh... I have become victim to the camera error "Could not start camera. Close other applications and try opening the camera again." I've tried battery pulls and all sorts of other tricks to no avail. I can't wipe the phone and start over because I run a macbook with snow leopard 10.6 (Desktop Manager doesn't work and usb won't recognize the phone). Can't just have Verizon replace it because it's almost 2 years old and no longer under contract. Might as well just buy a new phone but don't really have the means to. I'm not sure if it's some issue with an app I downloaded (I deleted a bunch of the apps I had recently downloaded with no success) or if something disconnected when it was dropped. Pressing on the lense doesn't seem to do anything. Anyone have a similar issue and find a solution? I'm likely to be stuck with this phone for a while yet.

Hi and welcome to the forums!
Reboot the device in safe mode if you think a third party device is at fault
Run the Device Self Test if you suspect a hardware issue.
