iPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open! I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open. Any ideas?

iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2

Try rebooting: Press and hold both the power and home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds (holes past the swipe to shut down it it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons.


If after rebooting, your shutter doesn't open, you may have a hardware problem and you should make an appointment with the Genisyu Bar at your Apple Store. If your unit is found defective, it will be replaced.

I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.


My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open. I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.


I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.


bummer! 😢
