The front camera on my iphone 5 is not working. Everything else is fine. If I send it in for repair and it turns out to be only the camera that needs to be replaced, what would the cost of that be? If the cause of the problem is something more serious, and I would just want my phone back without the issue being resolved, what would the cost of that be?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.1.2
Thanks for the tip, but by front camera I actually meant the one facing me when holding the phone, i.e. the facetime camera.
If what's in the link for you doesn't solve the problem I'd contact your repair facility and get a quote from them as none of here work for Apple.
First go to apple if it is a hardware issue they usually replace it for free....
I called them and if I understand correctly, it is $269 for any repair. Doesn't matter what the problem is, it's gonna be $269 no matter what. So basically, they will charge me $269 for solving my problem, even if it's simply replacing the camera that your seem to be able to buy for a few dollars online. Am I missing something here?

No they don't generally replace it for free.
Apple doesn't repair hardware components like the camera. A battery or screen maybe but other than that you get a refurbished phone and your old one is sent back for a complete overhaul with a new serial number. You can go the route of replacing the camera part yourself but be aware Apple or it's authorized service centers will no longer look at if you have any further problem.
