Pi Camera Rev1.3 in Raphael Kit does not work

[Filip]

Hello, could you please help us out with the following:
Both my boys have Pi4 and we bought Sunfounder Raphael kits with Pi Cameras Rev1.3. In doing projects, we are unable to get the video camera to work.
When both run “libcamera-hello” in the terminal, they get the following even though the cameras are set up for both:

Made X/EGL preview window
[0:15:07.903909527] [2230] INFO Camera camera_manager.cpp:293 libcamera v0.0.0+3866-0c55e522
ERROR: *** no cameras available ***

We are stuck. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

1. It may be that your camera interface is not activated and the error is reported.
   Please follow the link tutorial steps to activate the camera. (After enabling, you need to restart the Raspberry Pi)

2. Please check whether the camera is installed correctly?
   Please follow the link to confirm the assembly step directions:

Thank you for the quick reply! We went through all of your steps and tried the solutions on two machines and both got the same results. Thank you in advance for your very kind assistance. Using a camera should be easy, for some reason, we are having huge trouble.

Using Buster: ran : raspistill -o test.jpg and got:

first error was: Camera control callback cmd=0x4f525245mmal: No data received from sensor. Check all connections, including the Sunny one on the camera board

second error: 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

Using Bullseye: ran photographmodule.py: and got:

1. Please confirm whether the interface on the camera module is connected correctly. (picture)
2. Please confirm whether the FFC cable of the camera is connected firmly. Is the direction of the FFC cable connected correctly? (picture)
   If you confirm that the above steps are correct, the camera module may be damaged.
