The rear camera shutter doesn't open on the screen. It has been restarted and reset with no avail. I have replaced the camera and the flex cable and it did not solve the problem either which leaves me to believe the software is bad or the motherboard is faulty. Purchased used with no warranty. Any help would be greatly appreciated as this was supposed to be a Christmas present.

If you opened the device yourself and worked on it, no one here nor Apple will have anything to do with the device any longer. Apple does not have user serviceable devices. Your opening the device has voided any warranty or post-warranty support, and support here. You can see if you can find a competent 3rd party repair facility to assist you with your device.
I don't expect to send it in or anything I'm just wondering if anyone had found a fix yet as this has been a problem for 5G iPods/iPhones for some time now. I listed the replaced parts so everyone knows that they are not the problem.
Very very few users who post here service their own iPod. Most that do usually end up making it worse
Yeah I figured that was the case, but I've done this before and the problem was there before I took it apart, so lets pretend that I never took it apart and I bought it new and never used it and the warranty is all timed out, then I try to take a picture and it does not work. Does anyone have a solution for that. I appreciate the replies by the way.
If that was the case and you had restored the device and it did not work, then you make an appointment at the Genius Bar to have the hardware checked. If defective, in warranty, they would replace, out of warranty you would have been offered an out of warranty replacement at a reduced price from new. The refurbished device would come with a 90 day warranty.
Well thanks guys, I guess I'll keep looking.
