Do a hard reset *#7370* (backup the internal memory data first).
If that doesnt work, the camera ccd may have come loose.

Does the front camera work?

thanks for replying guys, appreciate it. unfortunately tried both but no luck. wont let me update to v12 as on o2, but going through Simply Symbian » Blog Archive » How to: Upgrade your Nokia N95 firmware to try and change that. cant imagine why it could be hardware failure as only had the ****ed thing for 2 months, but will have to look into it. have it insured so might have to get a replacement but fustrating as only back in uk for a day after this trip before i head off again, hence looking for alternate solution. any other ideas would be most welcome!
Cheers for the input once again

forgot to mention, the front camera does work. all I see when i access the main camera however is the background (not the camera) and the icons on the right, however these are duplicated where they 'slide' in from the right, not dissimilar to a corrupt windows window... if that makes any sense...

Hmm sounds like the RAM has bad bits or another chip is playing up.

If a hard reset doesnt fix it, there's not much you can do. I would take it to a Nokia Service Center and get it fixed under warranty.

Cheers, contacted o2 today to try and resolve it, paying 7.99 gbp a month for insurance and now the 's are telling me that I have to wait a refurbished phone which will take a week. Useless as going away again in less than that. Thanks for confirming what i suspected, **** phone. will have to try and get a n95 8gb off them!
