Error camera not avaiable [after disconnecting and connecting camera]

i3arty — Tue, 22 Mar 2016 17:27:13 GMT

Hello,

Phone : Sony xperia Z [the first Z]

So i wanted to clean the len from the inside disconnected the camera [as my back panel is broken anyway] cleaned it was good, so i connected it back and checked on camera app if there are still black dots and it was all clean but then [i think when i disconnected front camera] and connected back the app froze and the phone turned off and it was just blinking red light but i somehow turned it on and when i want to open camera it says error camera not avaiable, and idk how to fix it ?

Any idea guys ?

[I was about to get new phone soon but wanted to wait for some newer phones that will come out soon ]

Thanks for helping !

@i3arty

At this point it's trial and error
