camera wont open :-(

anyone know why my camera now refuses to open when i push slider on the back down ?

Sometimes it looks like its going to work but then just as i see the viewfinder on screen it "crashes" back to the front screen The phone never used to do this and only seems to have developed the fault recently. I have upgraded the firmware (AFTER first having problems) but this has not fixed anything. Even if i load the camera app with the slider down it opts for showing the view from the front camera instead of the back. Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it ?

If the FW upgrade is made, maybe is hardware... so go to a Nokia Service.

Thanks for the advice - even if it wasnt what i wanted to hear!

Good news is though that straight after i posted for help i had the incredibly technical idea of taking the phone apart and blowing around the back of it, near the moving parts. Put the phone back together and it works a treat obviously just some dust getting amongst the connections somewhere!
