Help "could not connect to camera"

[MrGlowy]

So today, sometime during school, I kept getting "could not connect to camera" whenever I go into the camera app. I already tried restarting and force closing and clearing data from the app. But it didn't seem to work. Do you guys have any suggestions? If not,I'll just use the unbrick guide.

Edit: Just going to use unbrick guide

Edit2: It still doesn't want to work. Might have to go exchange it.

I think you may have to factory reset it to fix it

Like hard reset? Because i factory reset through the recovery but it didn't help

Nothing has fixed it. Either it gives me the error or i just get a black screen.

Have yoy done the unbricking? Try doing the firmware you are on if not then use a different firmware. Id that doesnt work then i hope you can go do a claim at the store you bought it. Couldn't be a software or a hardware issue

I tried all that, luckily I have the best buy accidental plan. I'm going to see if they'll exchange it during the weekend

Sounds like it might be failed hardware..

So the camera decided to work for awhile today and I took as many pictures as I could while it still worked. Then when I really needed it, it decided to stop working again -_-

My old one was doing this only after i broke the screen. I ran "fix permission" through the rom manager app and it sometimes worked afterwards.
