X300 Camera problem. Help Plz!!

Hi, my friend's Panasonic X300 is giving this "open slider" error message when using the camera (the slider is already open btw). This is a used phone, and Panasonic totally ignore me when I ask them the quote for reparing the phone.

I would be much appriciated if someone has any solution to this, or recommandation of any cell phone repair center.

Check for software updates
Clear the camera cache
Restart your phone
Check the camera lens
Reset your phone
If the issue persists, contact support or take your phone to a service center for further assistance.

Here are some tips that may help resolve this:

Try cleaning the area around the lens cover slider with a soft brush or compressed air. Dust or debris could be obstructing the slider mechanism.
Inspect the lens cover slider track for any damage or obstruction. Something may be physically blocking it from opening fully.
Reset the camera to factory settings in case it's a software issue. Go to Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory Data Reset.
Update the camera app and phone software in case a bug is causing problems with the camera slider function.
As a last resort, the lens cover slider mechanism may need to be repaired/replaced.
You can also look into selling the phone for parts online and putting that money towards a used replacement.

Experiencing issues with your X300 camera can be frustrating, but don't worry – help is available! Start by checking for software updates and troubleshooting common problems. If the issue persists, reaching out to customer support or visiting online forums for camera enthusiasts might provide valuable solutions. Remember, technical glitches are common, and seeking assistance can often lead to a quick and effective resolution.
