N73 Broken Camera

Hi, my freind's N73 fell to the concrete floor and now there are a few problems. The screen is cracled, but it isn't too noticeable unless the screen is black...which brings me to the second part of the problem; his camera doesn't work. It goes to a blank screen whenever he opens his camera lense.
Is it maybe due to a loose ribbon inside the N73? The icons on the side show, there's just no picture. If it is probably a ribbon, I'm going to have to open it for him and try to reattach it.
Thanks for the insights.
 
The camera looks to be included with the keyboard assembly from cnn.cn.

It's worth a try to swap it if you can....probably about $30 total (a few more $ if you don't have a t6 torx driver), plus an afternoon of work.

EDIT: That looks to be the FRONT CAMERA (my bad, sorry). Might want to verify if it also includes the 3mp camera. Maybe someone here knows.

Or...send it in to a repair shop and get ready for a $$$ bill.

Good luck with it. Let us know what happens in the end.
 
Thanks guys. My friend doesn't want to spend a lot of money just getting it repaired unless it was around $50 max. We're going to go to a few shops here and see what they can do. I'll keep this thread updated. Thanks again.
