IPhone 5 Camera & Flashlight Stopped working?

Hi Guys
So my iPhone 5 rear camera out of nowhere stopped working.
I took some pictures earlier in the day was fine. Then when i went to take some in the evening. the rear camera shows either a black screen but with all the controls present / or a blurred image.
The rear camera is working fine though ??
the flashlight option in the quick menu is also greyed out ?
The rear camera also doesnt work in instagram , VSCOcam and Snapchat just freezes
Any suggestions i

Hi ni1992,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To determine if this is a hardware issue requiring service or a software issue, you can restore your iPhone as a new device and test to see if the issue occurs:

If the issue's resolved, you can try restoring your data at that point. If the issue persists, you may need to seek service. This FAQ has information about obtaining service:

Ipod touch 5th gen front camera/flashlight stopped working?

when i open up the camera app it just freeze and turns me back to main menu. flashlight didnt work either
i did a research on the forums and foudn some solutions, and i managed to get the front camera one time to work. but i couldnt get it anymore. what i did it was just to press where the picture below shows
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-24486657-36235 8/170-296/iphone.jpg
and it worked just for one time like i said
do any of you think there's maybe something disconnected after a fall? or does it needs hardware replacement? the device is out of warranty so you think if i open it up i should find a way to fix it?

Try:
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

My iphone home button stopped working and the phone started getting hot. The camera also fogged up. What do I do?

I'm guessing it's a hardware problem. Your best option is to go to an Apple Store as soon as you can to try and sort this all out. While you're waiting to go visit an Apple Store, however, I'd imagine you still want to use your phone. To circumvent your hardware button problems, try enabling Assistive Touch by going to Settings>General>Accesibility>Assistive Touch. You'll see a small box appear on your screen. Tapping it will bring up several options for you to choose from, like the home button. Clicking the "Device" option will give you several options for controlling your phone that you would normally use hardware buttons for (i.e. volume, lock your phone, etc.) Hope this helps and good luck!

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

My iPhone 5 charger stopped working. It's under warranty and I want to send it back. How do I initiate that process? The website keeps sending me in circles. I'm getting an error message when I put in my serial number. Why is this so difficult?

If posible you will find visiting a store by far the simplest way of getting a solution

Have you checked the lightning socket on iPhone doesn't have lint or fluff in it
solves majority of such issues

Satellite T130: inbuilt web camera has stopped working

Hi, I have the same problem of the question bellow, like I have looked around and I was not able to find the answer I need.
I have a Satellite T130 and, suddenly, the inbuilt web camera has stopped working properly. A blue light is on, but there is no image. What can I do?
Thank you

Hi,
the blue light is beside the web cam, on the top of screen. But this light is on when I try to use the web cam in anywhere, like Skype, Msn or even in programs in the computer that only take a pictue or make a video of you, without ineternet (I do not know the name of this program). But it seems that computer and the programs recognize the web cam, because there is no messages when I turn on the web cam.
In Skype settings is the same, there is nothing wrong, there is no different message. The only thing is when I try to take picture a message appears: "failed", but the video seems to record normally, although everythng is black.
Could you understand what I meant?
Sorry about my english....

Yep! You could also try to restart the device by holding the power button and the home button down for several seconds might get 'er kicked into gear. Other than that... The Applestore it is!

Depending on the age and use of the phone, you might need a new battery. Visit an Authorized Appel Service Provider or Apple Store to check the battery.
Apple Support can also do that for you.
