my raspberry pi camera module v1.3 is not working, try taking a photo, here is the error
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ raspistill -o image.jpg mmal: No data received from sensor. Check all connections, including the Sunny one on the camera board
so i used this command $ vcgencmd get_camera
output: supported=1 detected=1
so the red light comes on on the camera but doesnt take a picture. Tried rebooting to no success. Definetly not static discharge as the RPi still detects it. What can br the problem?

Re: Camera module not working
Is it the Omnivision sensor or the Sony sensor or some OEM camera?
Have you checked the Sunny connector is fully seated?
