Hi. I’ve recently got hold of Core Electronics Raspberry Pi Zero W and Camera V2 package, but am having trouble getting the camera to work. I’ve got the Pi Zero W connected to wifi and am connecting successfully over SSH. I’ve run: - sudo apt-get update - sudo apt-get upgrade - sudo raspi-config - and then enabled the camera, and rebooted I have a 1A psu which I’ve read should be sufficient for the Pi Zero (with no keyboard or mouse) I have checked and rechecked that the cable connecting the camera is aligned and clamped in. But when I run ‘raspistill -v -o test.jpg’ I get the following message: > mmal: mmal\_vc\_component\_enable: failed to enable component: ENOSPC > mmal: camera component couldn’t be enabled > mmal: main: Failed to create camera component > mmal: Failed to run camera app. Please check for firmware updates I tried the camera on a Pi 3 too, with the same result. Have I missed anything obvious here? Any ideas on what I could try next? Thanks Steve ---

Hi Steve, Hmm, it does sound a little strange. So you’ve checked for the alignment on the ribbon cable? Could you shoot through a picture of your setup? ---

Hi Sam, Yes I’ve checked the cable and re-inserted it several times. My setup is quite simple as I’m connecting to the Pi Zero over wifi/ssh. Here’s a couple of pictures. Can you confirm the cable is the right way around? I’m 95% certain it’s right… Thanks Steve ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/1X/0e0675520fc569e0c229da25ddcb35efa9d1d2e8.jpg) ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex028/uploads/core_electronics/original/1X/9bcc61fbb2b0bc8a3490a19235028843e959be11.jpg) ---

Thanks for that Michael, I tried the firmware upgrade as you suggested, which seemed to work ok (no errors!), but after the reboot I get the same error as before. ---

Hi Stephen, It looks like there may be an issue with your camera board. Can you reply to your order confirmation email with a link to this forum post and we can get that underway for you.
