Smart Phone Camera Repair Service in Caroline Springs

Why phone cameras fail (and why it gets worse if you wait)

Camera problems often start small (tiny crack on lens glass, dust inside, slight focus issue). But then it spreads: the module gets damaged, OIS starts shaking, moisture creeps in, and your photos get worse day by day. So, fixing it early usually saves money and avoids bigger parts replacement.

Common camera problems we fix

Rear camera not working

Your back camera won’t open, shows an error, or stays stuck on black. We check whether it’s the module, connector, or software conflict.

Front/selfie camera not working

Selfie camera shows black, blurry output, or won’t switch. We test the camera and the flex connection.

Blurry camera / out of focus

Often caused by lens damage, dust inside, autofocus failure, or a misaligned frame after a drop.

Camera shaking / OIS vibration

That “buzzing/shaking” look usually comes from stabilisation (OIS) problems in the rear module and may need replacement.

Black screen in camera app

Could be hardware, camera permissions, app crash issues, or board-level camera connector faults.

Camera app crashing / freezing

We check storage, OS conflicts, and then test hardware. If it’s hardware-triggered, the app keeps crashing until fixed.

Flash not working

Flash failure can be camera-related, LED-related, or a power line issue on the board.

Lens glass cracked / scratches

Cracked rear camera lens glass lets dust and moisture in. Even small cracks can ruin photos with glare.

Dust/fog inside camera lens

Fogging and dust usually means the lens seal is compromised. We clean and reseal (where possible) or replace the affected part.

Water damage camera issues

Moisture can corrode connectors, damage the camera module, or mess with the board—so quick action matters.

Camera repair services we offer

Back camera replacement

We replace the rear camera module (wide / ultra-wide / telephoto where applicable) and test all camera modes.

Front camera replacement

For selfie camera failure, blur, or hardware damage.

Camera lens glass replacement (rear lens)

If the lens glass is cracked but the camera still works, lens-glass-only replacement can be the best value option (when suitable).

Camera frame / housing alignment

After drops, the frame can bend slightly, causing focus issues or lens seating problems. We realign where possible.

Microsoldering (camera connector / board-level)

If the camera connector is damaged or the board has a fault, we can inspect and repair at board level (model-dependent).

Water damage inspection + cleaning

We open the device, inspect indicators and corrosion, and do cleaning/treatment as needed.

Back glass replacement when the camera frame is loose

If the rear glass or camera surround is cracked/loose, dust can enter the camera area. Back glass replacement helps re-seal and stabilise. (Katya Phone already provides back glass repair locally.)

Cost & time

Camera repair cost in Caroline Springs

Pricing depends on model + whether it’s lens-only, module replacement, or board-level. Below are typical AUD ranges in Australia to guide expectations, based on published repair pricing examples from Australian repair providers.

Typical price guide (AUD)

These are indicative. Final cost depends on your exact model and the real fault found during diagnosis.

How long does camera repair take?

Is it worth repairing the camera?

Usually yes if:

• Your phone is still fast and the screen/battery is fine
• The fix is lens glass only (often best value)
• The phone is a newer model and replacement cost is high

It may not be worth it if:

• The phone has heavy water damage and multiple systems failing
• The repair cost approaches the value of the phone (we’ll be honest about that)
