ALSO TAKE A MOMENT TO VISUALLY INSPECT AROUND THE CAMERA AREA FOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO EITHER THE CAMERA OR ANY COMPONENTS IN THE VICINITY! DONOT AT ANY STAGE REMOVE OR TRY REMOVE THE LENSE FROM ITS SUPPORT IC AS DOING THIS COULD/WILL SERIOUSLY SCREW UP YOUR CAMERA AND/OR THE ENTIRE SYSTEM (UNLESS DONE PROFESSIONALLY) AND RIM WILL LAUGH AT YOU WHEN U TELL THEM WHAT CAUSED IT!!
PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AND JUICE UP UR BB!! IF UR CAMERA AND VIDCAM SPRINGS TO LIFE AGAIN, MY CONGRATULATIONS ON FIXING THIS NASTY ERROR URSELF WITHOUT SPENDING 100S OF $$ *:D* , IF IT DOESNT, CONGRATULATIONS FOR TRYING BUT UNFORTUNATELY, YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SHELL OUT SOME $$ TO GET A FIX

AWESOME Info, but a tip... just remove the battery door, gently push on the black plastic (not clear lens) of the camera with a blunt object, use firm steady pressure at North, East, West and South, maybe once or twice, even with the phone on you can do this.
Try your camera again.
