Aug 6, 2014 3:37 AM in response to UK77by pompair2008,UK77, stop trolling and trying to convince newbies to delete their photos, that's not nice what you are doing. Deleting photos and videos has and cannot have absolutely no impact on this camera issue.

Aug 11, 2014 10:12 PM in response to Miso117by SunnyAunt,Oh my, this fixed my camera and flash light problem. I was just about to give in and send my phone away for a hardware fix. I've spent the last few days researching this, doing resets and all sorts of magic combos of actions. This worked for me. Well done Miso117

Aug 17, 2014 12:47 PM in response to Giboxby Ashp46,I Have the issue of the forward facing camera just deciding not to work, out of all of the suggestions I think different ones work for different people, my personal feelings on this issue is like with all business who capture a particular market like apple having hooked all age generations on there products.

Aug 18, 2014 11:17 PM in response to Giboxby morpaul69,So, the press on the corner worked... But only for a few minutes then reverts to black. A repress sorts it again. Loose cable?

Aug 19, 2014 1:36 AM in response to Giboxby Oliverusi_29,According to what i've red i can say it is a hardware issue maybe loose contact on the camera hardware which prevents the phone from detecting the camera that's why we cannot use it. Maybe we have left the phone in such a hot place like inside the car parked in a direct sunlight which makes the metal surface of the phone hot and might loose the connections on the inside. i've put my phone in the freezer right now and held a vice grip on the camera with a piece of cloth to prevent any further damage from the pressure, near the power button which makes loose contacts from the inside to connect to each other again and putting the phone in the cold place like freezer might help to reconnect loose ends. I'll reply what will happen after few hours.

Sep 6, 2014 1:30 AM in response to Giboxby HK ap,Hi Guys, pressing the camera inside does work !
I had the same problem as you and tried everything. Nothing would work.. So i went to genius, they checked and reset the cable that links the camera to the phone, but this wouldnt work either.. So they told me i need to replace the phone for 280 euros.. Which i declined.. So on my way home i thought i have nothing to loose i will press as hard as i can on the top right corner.. And it worked again ! Yeaah
still i would advise you to check first at genius before using this method..

Sep 15, 2014 8:07 AM in response to Giboxby sc0rpiongirl,I have encountered the same problem with iPhone 5 which is up to date on 7.1.2 firmware. Found this thread and read through it carefully, applied everything people suggested thoroughly but nothing worked...I am going to have to take it to Apple Genius Bar I guess and get an replacement. And since it's outside Apple warranty, I am hoping to get my credit card company to cover it as my VISA does provided one year extended warranty without registration.
With all the money we spend on an iPhone you'd expect it last longer, wouldn't it?.....
