The camera is opening just that the screen remains black and not capturing anything... Pleas I need someone to help me with a good idea. Thanks

Re-insert the battery i.e remove the battery and put it back then try it.

Have done that several times, I did security wipe, SD card repair and formating, logs clear and all sorts... But all to no avail.

Go to computer village and see a specialist.
