Unable to start the camera.

Icyman · Jan 28, 2014

After replacing my cracked display on my DNA, I'm now getting this error.
I know it's hardware related but I don't know exactly where to look to find either a loose connection or which part to replace.
Has anyone successfully corrected this hardware issue or had this problem after a screen replacement?

One of the motherboard flex cables ( the cable coming from the top assembly where the camera and power button are, attaches to each side of the main board) are not seated properly
Remove the screws and reseat them.

That's what I was thinking. Do you think it is the ribbon on the same side as the front facing camera?

I pressed a little harder and the ribbon clicked into place. all good now.

I had taken mobo out to replace battery and afterwards camera was giving me same error message. I think it was the long black wire or one of the whiteboards on that side. I didn't have to take the motherboard out again just unscrewed one black tapelike connector, flipped the whiteboards (1 big 1 small), disconnected the long black wire and reseatted them all and it works now! I'm not sure which one did it but they were all on the volume rocker side of the phone.
