Raspberry pi camera defected

Post by Taki741 »

Hello,

I ordered a raspberry pi camera v2 with the adafruit case for it. I have received it, but I’m having a problem with it. I ran a simple command, which was (sudo mplayer tv://). The camera should display live output to the screen. All I was getting was a blank screen with colored line all over it. As if there was a problem with the internals of the camera. I restarted the raspberry pi awell as unplugging and plugging the camera. It was still the same. Tried to everything still nothing. I certain it’s a defected camera.

Also the Adafruit Raspberry Pi camera Case with 1/4” Tripod Mount does not close as the camera is bigger.

I paid extra for it to get here sooner, just my luck for it to not work. I have a project due in less than a week. Can someone please help, it really urgent.

Can you post pictures of the camera and the case? Also the connections to the pi and camera?
