noIR Camera not working

26 Mar.,2024

 

I have recently (in the last few days) bought a raspberry pi and noIR camera.

I was taking some pictures with it, and it was working fine. Then suddenly, it stopped working after a reboot and gave this error message:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ raspistill -o image.jpg
mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM)
mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1)
mmal: Failed to create camera component
mmal: main: Failed to create camera component
mmal: Camera is not detected. Please check carefully the camera module is installed correctly

I have tried rebooting, adjusting the connecting ribbon (the little red camera light lit up on start up) and re-enabling the camera through raspi-config.

If I wait a little while after the above error message, the raspberry pi becomes unresponsive (I have tried it connected via SSH and RDP).

Can someone help me please?
