camera fail

[John Watlington]

Glad to hear that it wasn't the actual camera.
Remove the motherboard and reseat the camera ribbon cable.
You were within three screws and seven connectors of having
it loose.

I don't know who wrote that motherboard removal wasn't needed,
but I've rarely had that work.
