Camera repair

Blurry, refusing to focus, shaking, a black preview, or a lens cover that has taken a hit. Call with your make and model and we will give you a price — or walk in and we will look at it while you wait.

What we actually do

Most phones have several cameras and they fail independently. A rear wide that will not focus and a front camera that shows black are different parts and different jobs.

The cracked piece is often the lens cover rather than the camera itself — a much smaller repair. That is the first thing we establish.

A technician working on a phone logic board with precision tweezers, components laid out on the bench.

Open the camera app before you come and note exactly which lens misbehaves — front, wide, ultrawide, or the zoom. It saves us both time at the counter.

Signs it is the camera

  • Will not focus, or hunts back and forth
  • The preview is black or frozen
  • Visible shaking or a rattle when you move it
  • Blurry only on one of the lenses
  • Spots or haze on every photo
  • The lens glass is chipped or cracked

Worth fixing, or not?

Usually yes, and often it is the lens cover rather than the module, which makes it one of the smaller repairs on the list.

What it costs

Prices vary from phone to phone, and by model. Posting one number here would get it wrong for most people reading it.

So just ask. One call with your make and model and you have your price.

Phones we work on

iPhone, Samsung, Motorola, Google Pixel, LG, TCL, Nokia and more. Not sure yours is on the list? Call and ask — we see plenty that aren't.
