Iphone 4s camera still not working after replacing and restore?

I bought phone with back camera not working so first i done a restore and update to no avail, then done a restore as new phone still no joy, so i decided to buy new camera which i fitted no problems but its still not working? what else can i do as there is no warranty on the phone?

Find a third-party repair shop with experience in fixing iPhone cameras. Apple won't help you.
Be aware, since Apple does not sell iPhone parts, there is no legitimate source for such, & many on the market are counterfeit.

  • IPhone 4S cameras do not work after iOS 8 upgrade

    I have an iPhone 4S 16 GB, It worked perfectly under iOS 7.1.2. . . I upgraded the OS to iOS 8.0.2 about two weeks ago. ( Bad Move )
    I noticed right off that my device was running a little slower, lagging, and worst of all my "Camera"  App does not have an image At All ! ! !
    The Flash options, HDR options, Timer options, will switch back and forth, but that is all that works, none of the bottom selections work at all,
    and when you hit the front/back camera icon, it freezes /locks the options that did work. I have done a deep restore twice on the device,
    restored as New Device, still no change at all on the behavior of the Camera operation. One thing I did find out though, it is a Glitch in the iOS
    software, pertaining to the Cameras Operation, reason being, is that I can go into the preinstalled Game Center App on the iOS 8, click on Add Photo,
    click on Take Photo, and there are my cameras, working perfectly, front & back. I have done a lot of research on this issue over the past two weeks,
    Reading Apple's own Compatibility Devices which start at iPhone 4S and later for the iOS 8.0.2, But, If you go into the iPhone iOS 8.0.2 Operators Manual, go to camera section, you will see that there are several of the New functions of the Camera that are only compatible with iPhone 5 and later. Leaving the iPhone 4S not capable of executing the full capabilities of the New Camera App. I've chatted with Apple Online Chat Support for several hours two days ago, the only resolve they had was to send the device in or take it to an Apple Store and they would correct that issue "Free of Charge", even though ,my iPhone is 3 years out of warranty, because it is a Software related issue.... All I wanted to do is find a way to revert back to iOS 7.1.2, I found out very quickly, that is Impossible to do, because it violates Security Issues and Apples Terms of Agreement," Leaving them Not Responsible for any issues what so ever that occurs to your device downloading the iOS 8.0.2. . Which in my opinion, is pretty messed up. . What is the Big Deal of reverting back to any iOS you want, Apple should support every iOS version they have, not the users fault that a New iOS does not work right on their device, slowing it down, etc...I run Windows 7 on my PC, I can revert back to any OS I want, no problem at all.. . Anyways, back to iPhone issues, The other issues I got with the upgrade is that, My device will not power back on after I power it off now, I have to do a reset to get it to booted back up and running, and when I do so, there is a white halo that appears on my screen for several hours, then it will finally dissipate (no idea what that's all about), , Also, the battery life is much shorter now, had much better battery time on iOS 7.1.2 . . . Apple Support said that my Case was the first they have heard of, which surprised me.

    I'm not quite clear on how your phone is working right now. I also don't know what "every possible thing" means so here is what you can do to troubleshoot software issues yourself. To be safe do a backup before doing anything.
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Just so you are aware, now that you've had a local hardware person repair the phone you no longer have any warranty or service support from Apple. Good luck.

  • ITunes still not working after uninstall and install. Help?

    iTunes hasn't opened on my computer for a few weeks. Before uninstalling, I went to Control Panel and chose the 'Repair' option which did nothing. I ran a scan to see if there a virus, came up clean. I uninstalled it completely and reinstalled the latest version and it still will not open.  Any ideas? I want to put new music on my iPhone and can't because iTunes refuses to work.

    Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • B110a black in still not working after trying all recommended solutions

    Hi there
    Black ink still not working after spending many hours trying to sort. I've cleaned the printhead carefull several times (is immaculate now) and run the system clean up and alignment functions several many times too. I've cleaned the metal connecting points. I wiggled things carefully. I've attempted printing multiple pages in b/w in case it was going to take a while to get the ink flowing again. I've replaced one (expensive) new black cartridge with another brand new (expensive) cartridge and still nothing. This machine is probably out of warranty but seriously not very old. It really ought to be working okay. We use it regularly a little bit every week. Any ideas?

    The document here has troubleshooting steps that may help resolve black not printing on your Photosmart b110a.  Be sure to check the vents as shown in solution six, step three.  If the above does not resolve the problem the post here may help.

  • Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5

    Iphone 4 Home button not working after upgrade to OS 4.3.5.Please help!!!!!!!!

    It seems that settings of mail accounts have something to do with it. I've delete my gmail account and am now using Microsoft Exchange. It seems better, yet not perfect. The issue is definitely due to OS 4.3.1
    Apple answer is - no answer. It is a shame that the quality of their products, in terms of design and concept, is not match by a care for customers. It is not normal that I, as a customer, have to spend hours reading Apple Discussions forum to try to understand what the problem is. A little more respect for a customer that spend big $$$ buying their products wouldn't hurt.

    My camera does not work after I restored the system, how can I use it again?
    Thank you for your help!

    Did try to restore "as new device" without using the backup after that?
    Did you try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo coes back again?

    There was no record of my order. I spent over an hour on two calls to Apple, and they refused to send me the Griffin Motif that I originally ordered. The rep. I spoke to said to be patient, it just might show up, but at this point I doubt it.
