Camera module just stop working

Hi guys,
I have a Fairphone 2 for which I upgraded the camera a few months ago, everything worked fine (as much as it can with a FP2… but let’s skip this for now) until last week when my camera module stopped working without any notice. I dont use it that often so I cannot tell any specific event that triggered this…
I have remounted it and nothing changes, it is not even detected (Setting -> About phone -> Camera module info = Unknown), the front module is still working
Anyone that can help?
I have the latest OS (Fairphone OS 18.04.1)
Thanks
Olivier

Hello Olivier,
did you try taking the FP2 apart and screwing it back on?

And cleaning the contacts?

Maybe this will help you:

“At the two lower screw holes are small washers. These you can easily remove with a sharp object because they are only glued.”

That solved my camera problem.

Problem solved.

For the 2nd time I took the phone apart, removed the camera, carefully wiped it, screwed it back firmly and mounted the phone together. Not sure what exactly I did differently compared to the first time but I definitely did this more slowly and diligently.
