Iphone4 shutter stuck!

My iphone4 (not 4S) camera shutter is jammed, when u click on the camera to open it to use, the screen just shows it permanantly closed, and the small camera/video selector is flickering... Any ideas how to fix this please? Have tried re-booting to no avail

  • try closing the app by double tapping the home button and then holding your finger on the camera icon at the bottom. a small red icon in the top left corner of the icon.

    This will completely close the app. Turning the phone off and on again doesn't close the app.

    If that doesn't work then it's worth restoring your phone with iTunes after backing up your data.

    you could also try fully turning off the phone. Hold down the power button (not a quick press) until a "slide to power off" screen appears. That actually shuts down the phone completely, and afterwards you can power it on again for a clean boot.
    Oh, you wee bazza!
