Try resetting the phone by pressing both the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button simultaneously after which the phone restarts with the apple logo.

IPhone 3Gs A1303 camera not working! The shutter is not opening, before it use to work but not workin now..

For starters. There's no actual "shutter" on the camera. That's just an on screen animation.
You might need to just restore/update your phone through iTunes to fix the software issues.

Shutter remains closed on apple iphone 3GS

1. Sync phone with iTunes to back up your data. 2. Choose Restore option from iTunes window (first screen when you plug the phone into iTunes) 3. Before you restore from backup, test the camera again. If it works, then it was a software related issue. If it doesn't, the camera module is not working and needs to be replaced. 4. Restore from backup, or take the phone in for repair if the shutter is still not opening.

The shoot button has popped off. It won't stay on the camera. If I stick a needle down the hole it will take a picture, so the camera works fine. It's just the button

Please don't stick anything in there to take a picture, especially a needle!! Your shutter button needs to be replaced, its a very common defect on this camera.

There is only one place that will install a new solid aluminum shutter button post and guarantee it will never break again! How do I know? Because I've been repairing them since 2006 and I own the shop with the aluminum posts!

IPhone camera shutter won't open! - 3Gs

there is a hardware issue. Apple should give you a replacement. If you're out warranty, you can try to open it and camera module. If that fails you need a new logic board. You can get the part on Ebay or at iPhone Repair and there is a free guide that shows you how to open a kindle and install parts at iPad Repair Guide.

IPhone camera shutter won't open! - 3Gs

I have had the same problem. I backed up all photos/videos from the phone and then deleted them, then rebooted the phone (off/on). The camera functioned after that. Then I restored the photos to the phone.

Cant see anything when cam on to take pics screen stays black ?

With the power off, hold the camera in your palm and smack the front of the camera on your leg or arm. You might have to smack it a few time to get it to work. It has to do with the camera CDD lense (shuttle) being stuck. By smacking it around, it will free up the lense. Being extra gentle with it though. It worked for me. Hope this help.
