Camera repair
Camera repair that finds the real fault, not just the cracked glass
- Face ID kept
- OIS rattle fixed
- Board-level diagnosis
- Walk-in or mail-in
A camera problem is rarely one thing. Sometimes it is only the lens glass over the lens. Sometimes the whole module is dead. And sometimes the camera is fine and the fault is on the board that powers it. We are a board-level lab first, so we tell those three apart before we quote you, instead of swapping a part and hoping. Phones and tablets, with honest options on every job.
A broken camera is one of three different faults: cracked lens glass, a dead camera module, or a board-level problem powering the camera. WeFixed diagnoses at the board first to tell them apart, so you do not pay for a module swap that fixes nothing. We handle phones and tablets, including Face ID and TrueDepth front cameras.
Most shops have one move for a camera: pull the module, plug in a new one. That works until it does not, when the new module is also blank, the fault was never in the camera, and now you have paid for a part that changed nothing. Because we diagnose at the board, we can see whether your camera lost power, lost its data line, or simply died, and we fix the actual cause.
Three camera faults and what each needs
| Symptom | Likely cause | What it needs |
|---|---|---|
| Blurry, glare, cracks | Cracked lens glass | Lens glass only |
| Black or frozen camera | Dead module or board | Diagnose first |
| Buzzing, shaky video | Failing OIS motor | Module replacement |
| Face ID lost | TrueDepth unpaired | Board-level pairing |
| All cameras dead | Board power or data | Component repair |
We confirm camera versus board before quoting, so the fix matches the real cause.
Why a board-level lab is the right place for a camera fault
A camera is one of the few faults that looks identical whether the problem is a $30 lens cover or a hairline break on the logic board. A parts-swap counter can only guess, and when the guess is wrong you pay for a module that fixed nothing. We diagnose the camera's power and data lines at the board first, so the repair matches the real cause, lens glass, module, or component-level work. We are an independent Arlington shop, so we are not steering you toward a whole-device replacement, and we put our work in writing: 1-year warranty on OEM and genuine OLED parts, 30 days on aftermarket. Walk in from anywhere in Arlington and the DMV, or use tracked mail-in from all 50 states. Many camera jobs are quoted free on the spot; when a diagnostic is needed it is $65 and applies toward your repair.
