Q: My iPod Touch 5th Generation's Front Facing Camera Wont Work, Please Help!

Hello. My iPod Touch 5th Generation's front facing camera won't work. I can't FaceTime, I can't take selfie pictures I can't do anything involving my front facing camera. It started yesterday afternoon. I was on FaceTime and my camera started to act up and wouldn't work. So i opened up my camera app and switched the front facing camera and it would freeze or show a black screen. Other apps that involve the front facing camera won't even open. Is it a bug or do I need a whole new iPod? I tried the reset trick and the restarting my iPod trick and force quitting the apps but nothing works. It only worked one time since it happened and that was last night. But i woke up this morning and tried to test it but it did the same thing. Somebody please help me. Thank you in advance!

iPod touch, iOS 8.3, null

    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:                                               

    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    - 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.
