Is my cam dead?

Hi guys,

The other day my cam (Raspberry Pi Camera Module V2) that was attached to my monitor fell on to the desk, a fall of maybe 30cm.

Since then I have had no connectivity to my camera module. When I type in the address, I get the error:

"Error in RaspiMJPEG:
Restart RaspiMJPEG (./RPi_Cam_Web_Interface_Installer.sh start) or the whole RPi."

I have since done this and had no luck with it.

I have removed and reinstalled it and when I tried to start the Rpi Cam I get this error:

sh: 1 /var/www/html/macros/error_hard.sh: Permission denied
nmal: nmal_component_could not create create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1)

Is my cam dead from the drop? How can I make sure that it is the camera?

Thank you so much in advance for your help.

:roll: :roll:

30cm (a foot to many of us) is enough to do damage, but first, have you checked the ribbon cable is properly seated at both ends?
And the connection between the camera module and the PCB?

It might be worthwhile undoing and remaking all those connections.
