My iPhone 4 camera won't launch

So, my iPhone camera's shutter is stuck. At times it opens, but all I see is a black screen. This happened before and all I did was reset the phone a few times and voila! But now, I've restored it like… 6 times already, but it's still messed up. Yeah, I dropped my phone a few times before so yeah. Will getting the camera replaced fix the problem? Thank you! :*** And I can't take it back to Apple since my warranty expired last year.__.

Try plugging it into your computer and syncing it. That's what I did and it worked like a charm! IF that doesn't work I would highly suggest getting it looked at. Also, if you have other apps that take photos, (such as Instagram, Camwow, etc) see how they work aswell.
