battery went dead, send for new, install new one, follow instrucions carefully, all functions worked fine but the camera, cant take pics shutter close and wont open to view, please help!!!!!

you need to open the iphone and check the camera connection on the mainboard for dirt and damage and also the camera flex isn’t torn or damaged. It’s pretty difficult to damage this part but they are easy to fit and cheap to buy, so if the connections are fine, you’ll need a new one.
