  1. Hi. I had this done at a shop. The camera was working, but always blurry, so I wanted it replaced.
    After being replaced, when you opened the camera app, the screen was black, and the app would not function correctly. The shop replaced the old camera, but it now has the same issues. They did not know what caused this, do you know? How can I get my camera back?
