Camera not working AGAIN

This is my second Lumia 820 in 3 months. The camera on the first one stopped working after a few days. Now the camera on the second phone stopped working. The ONLY reason I bought this phone was for the camera. It was a lot better than my BB camera but at least that one worked. All I get when I press the camera button on the side or press the camera icon is a black screen. The functions are listed on the bottom but do not work. The touch screen to take a photo does not work. All that works is a back button on the top left that brings me to the camera roll photos. I use my camera on the phone for pictures of clients design ideas. How do I fix the camera? So far I have not been impressed with this phone. Limited apps and a camera that stops working. What is the fix for the camera besides buying a new one?

If its related to Hardware you need to visit your local Nokia Care but before that try a Soft Reset by Pressing Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds).

  • Why is my video cam NOT working again after it had been sent in to get fixed already

    Model Number: QE024UA
    Model Description: HP PAVILION DV6-6169US NOT
    Serial Number: 5CH1430SD9
    I had my computer sent to get the video cam working... they sent it back and it worked for about 2-3wks and is not working again also when I call someone elses computer I can hear and see them but they can no longer see or hear me. Cant see due to video not working again again on my part but they used to be able to at least hear me.. Now neither works. I have written plenty of messages to HP (at least 3 that I remember) but with no reply. Not a happy camper right now about this. When I bought this computer It had everything I thought I needed and more for my basic use. I chat on facebook Play their game and browse the web.. watch my netflix. I never really needed a video cam but now since family life has changed and I live so far away from them I specifically ordered this computer cuz of its high quality in video plus I liked the fact it played Blue-Ray. I used to have a Dell that lasted me a good 5yrs of usage. I have had this less than 3mnths and twice the cam has gone out on me.

    I'm avoiding buying anything else to use my iMac and had the same problem. I have PC headset with mic and headphones and also a Motorola bluetooth headset, neither worked how they should, no mic function:
    I can use the pc headphones that I already had (just didn't input the mic jack part), and the iMac built-in mic together as I chat.
    Just go to System Preferences and make the Sound settings for Output to built-in Headpones and Input to Internal Microphone -select "Use ambient noise reduction.
    Its a get-around, but it works.

  • X230T camera not working since Windows update (Windows 8)

    Hi experts!
    I have a X230T with a camera and Windows 8 installed on it.
    The camera driver Lenovo offers for Windows 8 always was unstable. I had a lot of trouble with it already. But after a reboot the camera always worked again. Now, after a Windows 8 update (by Microsoft), the camera is not working at all anymore.
    I already did an uninstall/install of the camera + cold boot, but every time i tried there is no camera function. So it has given up it's work completely. I am pretty sure that the camera is without any fault physically, but the driver just doesn't work anymore under Windows 8.
    Anyway, Lenovo should have fixed the bad driver for a long time already, but now this is obviously a really major issue.
    Any ideas?

    Did you try a real reboot, not just turning off and on (totally different things)
    A reset/reboot is:
    Go to Home Screen
    Press and Hold Home Button
    Keep holding and press and hold Lock Button
    Keep holding Both
    You will see Slide to Turn Off (Don't let go to slide, just keep holding)
    The phone will turn off (in time, but screen will look like it has some white lines)
    Keep Holding
    When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go.
    Turning off via the Slide to Turn off while good and fine to turn off, is more like the Sleep Mode on a computer. Thus any locked up issues in memory remain when you turn back on. A reboot as described is like doing a real Turn off and Turn On on a computer.

  • Isight camera not working after the last update

    After reboot of the last OS update
    Isight camera not working...
    i've tried photobooth, ichat, skype and it doesn't show up anywhere. in fact, when i go to system profiler, it doesn't show isight under USB connections at all.
    just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
    * restarting (obviously)
    * resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
    * just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
    any Help pls
    because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

    *A few suggestions.........*
    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
    my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

    I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
    Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

  • HP Mini 110-3700 built-in camera not working

    I just bought my HP Mini 110-3700 (LV831PA#UUF) last january. I just tried using the HP camera twice to check if the image it captures is clear. Yesterday, i will use the camera for a video chat but the messenger said "Cannot detech the camera/ device is not connected).When I had clicked the link for the HP Camera it had open but the light indicator didn't have any light and the camera isn't working.
    I already tried restoring the HP mini to factory settings but after that, the camera isn't working still. What should I do? Need help ASAP.

  • Camera not working on new profile

    I have 3 profiles on this same Skype, on one laptop. 1 profile works fine but on second profile camera not working (video not showing), audio works fine. I created a new account (e-mail is same from second profile) and is this same - video not working. I dont understand what is wrong. This same laptop, this same camera, this same drivers/windows7, latest Skype, and from 3 profiles one working fine. Please help!!!

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    Hi, sanaayesha. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. We'd love to know more about your concern. When you say camera isn't working, does it mean it's inaccessible, not taking sharp images, etc.? Does this happen to both main and secondary camera? Are you getting this issue regardless of the lens you're using? You can try checking the workarounds given on this link to further isolate the issue: My camera is not working correctly. The content of this link is applicable regardless of your location. Hope to hear from you the soonest.

  • Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update

    Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update
    PLease help

    Hi Hellside,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    I hope this helps.
    -Jason
