Phone Camera Repair in Manchester
Blurry shots, a black viewfinder, a rattle when you shake the phone, or a camera that will not focus. Camera repairs start from £25 and are usually completed the same day.
Signs You Have This Problem
Camera faults are very diagnosable from the symptom, which keeps the repair targeted and cheap.
Everything is blurry or will not focus
Often a broken optical image stabilisation module or a lens knocked out of alignment by a drop.
Black screen when the camera opens
Usually a disconnected or failed camera module rather than a software problem, though we check both.
A rattling sound when you shake the phone
That is the OIS magnets loose inside a damaged module. It is a definite hardware failure and the sound confirms it.
Cracked rear lens glass
The small glass covering the camera is a separate part from the back panel on most phones, and is often cheap to replace on its own.
What Causes It
Rear cameras sit under a small raised glass cover that takes the impact whenever the phone lands face-up, so cracked lens glass is extremely common and often the only damage. Inside the module, optical image stabilisation uses tiny suspended magnets that a hard drop can dislodge, which is the rattle people describe. Front cameras fail less from impact and more from liquid ingress, since they sit near the earpiece slot. Dust behind the lens after a poor previous repair also shows up as persistent blurry patches in the same place on every photo.
How We Fix It
Camera repairs start from £25 for the lens glass and rise for full module replacement.
We check first whether the problem is the outer lens glass or the module itself, because the difference in cost is significant and plenty of phones only need the glass. Where the module has failed we replace it and confirm focus, stabilisation, flash, portrait and video modes across all lenses before returning the phone. On models where the camera is paired to the board we will explain up front what that means for your handset. Front and rear camera prices are listed per model on our iPhone and Samsung pages.
