Front camera of my iPhone 4 doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open.

Yesterday I have bought an used iPhone 4, so I don't have any guarantee. But the front camera doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open. I have read that it is something like a hardware fault. Now my question is, if Apple has to repair it because of the hardware fault?

they dont do repairs..is much easier for them to give u new handset..which u have to pay for if is out of warranty.
dont be affraid is not a full cost of handset.is be about £139.00-£169.00
i use to work as an technician engineer in a phone shop still have access to warehouse with replacement parts.
if u live in UK and willing to pay £50 i can repair it for u.i'm still cheaper than apple store

    Hi there bananas321,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The front camera of my iPad 3 doesnt work after updated  ios7

    The front camera of my iPad 3 doesnt work after updated  ios7

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If neither fix it then you could try contacting Apple.

  • Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Hi,
    I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
    It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
    I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............

  • Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    Hi! I bought my iPhone from USA and the power button doesn't work. I have warranty. I will come to UK soon. I wanna learn; can i benefit my warranty in UK?

    The warranty is not and has never been International.  Warranty and support are only valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is for devices sold in the EU where the EU is treated as one country for warranty and support purposes.

    You need to do more research before you make purchases like this. You've wasted your money. The ONLY officially unlocked iPhone model sold in the US is the GSM model, and that model is only sold by Apple. That's the model iPhone you should have purchased.
    Did you read & understand my initial post? Especially this part:
    The unlocking of the GSM portion is just for International travel in order to use local sims. You still have to pay Sprint for the use of their international GSM partner’s network on a “pay as you go basis”.

  • My iPhone 4s doesn't work. i can not swipe to open it or to even turn it off. what can i do??????

    my iPhone 4s doesn't work. i can not swipe to open it or to even turn it off. what can i do??????

    I would attempt a reset. This is done by holding both the powerbutton and the home button for about 10 seconds for it to restart.
    When it boots back up, test the issue. If the issue persists, I would then recommend a restore through iTunes on a computer, set up as new, and test again. If it's now working, i'd recommend to restore from your last back up see if it resolved your issue.
    Hopefully the first reset solves it, in most cases it does.

  • Camera flash of iphone 4s not working

    Camera flash of iphone is not working can not take a picture with flash??
    Please suggest a solution.

    If you bring up the shortcut bar from the button of the screen by swiping upwards, can you switch the torch function on and off?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
    You will not lose data by resetting.
    Did you make sure that the flash is activated in the camera app? Did you try to switch it off, take a photo and switch it back on again?
    To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

  • HT4623 I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

    I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

    First try one of these methodes:
    Try to restart your iPhone
    Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
    if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
    Reset Settings of your device:
    Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
    Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
    if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
    Kind regards

    I have a virgin moble iphone that i found, the power button doesn't work and the phone is saying disabled,what can i do to fix it?

    Probably nothing, the phone has a high likelihood of being stolen and if you try to Restore it you will run into Activation Lock. Turn it in to the local authorities.
