My Adafruit order number is 2966774-1539247307, ordered on Nov 25, 2022. The order was for 1 x Raspberry Pi Camera Board v2 - 8 Megapixels [ID:3099].
I followed the setup instructions on a brand new RPi 4B with the lasest Raspian as well as a RPi 3B. Neither computer detects the camera, the camera option does not show up in Preferences > Interfaces, and no lights come on on the camera PCB. I've tried multiple troubleshooting steps, reattached the camera cable numerous times, but the device appears unresponsive. I'd like to get a replacement.
Images attached.

Re: v2 Camera not detected by RPi 4 & 3B
Can you confirm for me what qualifies as needing "legacy camera" support? I have a v2 Pi cam, which is, I think, the latest they offer. Do I need to enable legacy camera support in a Pi 4B for a v2 camera to operate?

Re: v2 Camera not detected by RPi 4 & 3B
Can you clarify where this is happening? Is this in raspi-config? And there's no camera related option under "Interface Options"?the camera option does not show up in Preferences > Interfaces
What OS image are you using?

Re: v2 Camera not detected by RPi 4 & 3B
These instructions indicate that if a camera is connected to the Pi, I should see a Camera option in the Raspberry Pi Preferences > Interfaces section: https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/pro ... picamera/2
However, there is no Camera option shown when I check this on the Pi 4B.
I have reinserted the camera cable very carefully multiple times on this board and my older Pi 3B with no luck.
raspi-config offers the option to enable/disable "legacy camera support," however, as I mentioned in the thread above, it's not clear to me why I would choose that if I have the newest v2.1 Pi cam.rasp
See attached screenshot showing raspi-config and the Preferences Interfaces panel.
The OS version, as shown in the 'about' section of raspi-config, is: 20221018. I downloaded the most recent raspian last week from https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/

Re: v2 Camera not detected by RPi 4 & 3B
Thanks for the screenshots and clarification. Some of this seems related to recent changes with camera support in the latest Raspberry Pi OS releases. There's a big blog post about it here:
https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/bullse ... ra-system/
It's very different now. So some documentation may be out of date. With the new setup, there's no longer an "enable the camera" step.
Try opening a command window and running one of the new libcamera commands.
Here's a simple one that can be used to check if the camera is connected:
It should output something like this:

Thanks, I'm happy to report I've got things working now. The instructions to enable the camera in the Interfaces section really threw me, and the article you linked to was very enlightening.
