My tello suddenly shows camera sensor error... When turned on n connect pictures still could be seen on my phone, after took off pictures freeze n camera sensor error showed up, how can I solved this problem?, is there anybody have this issues, I've restarted so many times the problem still exist, I want to bring my tello for my trip next week :-(,  btw the newest update causes the sensor  too sensitive even a gentle touch on an object the propeller turned off, I prefer the old firmware.

Hey, sorry to read on that. Sorry that the old firmware version is not available. However, you can make IMU calibration. If it persists, please kindly contact the right support support@ryzerobotics.com for further assistance.  *****Calibrate IMU****
1)  Please remove prop guards and propellers.  
2)  Connect Tello to your phone via WiFi and start Tello APP.  
3)  Go to settings > more > calibrate IMU.  
4)   Make sure Tello is sitting on flat surface for all 6 positions while calibrating.

IMU calibration didn't have any effect, just brought the unit to the local service center, and must wait 14 days, just bought this for holiday selfie and now can't use it

I think it's similar, at the beginning when I was landing it , it showed camera sensor error but still have pictures, but after I restarted it, it's back to normal again, after the flight I charged the battery and kept it for about a week, n the problem occured when I turned it on and become permanent, even after restarting it so many times still the same, the same problem was when flying without pictures the drone became unstable, after I pressed the shutter button the tello couldn't be controlled again, One thing I noticed when trying to reach the drone above me, only one IR sensor light was turned on, is it supposed to be on both of them, hoped these isn't a hardware problem, and these information could help ryze detect and fix this problem.

Hey, sorry to read on that. Please don't worry since only one IR sensor light would be turned on.
Per Camera sensor error,
1) Reboot the drone several times
2) Uninstall and reinstall APP ( please store important info first)
3) Make sure that both the APP and the firmware version has been upgraded to the latest.
4)   Conduct IMU Calibration.
If it persists, please kindly contact the right support support@ryzerobotics.com for further assistance.

I have the same problem, and the solution is only extract the bottom cover(4 screws) and gently press the camera connectors

I've been grounded from getting the camera sensor. I've contacted support and am running the latest app, firmware, etc. This became particularly difficult as while attempting to update the firmware after app un/re/installing, the drone powered down interrupting the process. Consequently Tello won't stay powered on long enough, even with a fully charged battery, to complete the update. While awaiting contact follow online supports escalation, I did manage to get the update completed this evening. My hopes of finally restoring normal functioning to the poor poor Tello were dashed though, upon being greeted with the same blank screen with error message after reconnect the drone via Wi-Fi after updating.
