Raspberry PI Camera

I received the Element14 Pi Camera today . I installed it(On a Raspberry B+) and the Led glows a bright red. I enabled camera support in raspi-config and rebooted. The camera is not being detected. I check online and ran across several reports that the camera was not working on the Pi B+.

Can you give me advice on how to proceed.

Thanks in advance for your support.

Greetings Allen,

The first thing I would do is, verify the camera is plugged in the right zif port. One is a display port the other is the camera port.
The next thing is make sure it's plugged in the right way. It's easy to plug in the cable the camera backwards in the zif port.

Be very careful with the camera it is very sensitive to static discharge.

I have a camera a a B+. I will check this out on this end as well.

Please let me know if you have additional questions. I'll be happy to help any way I can.

There have been reports of issues concerning the PiCam and the B+. I'll look into that as well.

Good luck
