Pi Camera Breaks

Hi, I have a raspberry pi 4 and I am trying to connect a Camera Module 3 to the board. The Camera will work for a while, and then will stop working and will be bricked. The only time that I can see it happened right after I did a specific thing was when I installed some python libraries onto the pi. The only libraries that would interact with the camera were opencv and picamera2. This happened a few other times on some other boards, and they would just brick randomly and not work again. To test the cameras, I use libcamera-hello, and it says that there is no camera that is connected to the pi, when the camera is obviously plugged in. Does anyone have any ideas? I have run sudo apt-get update and upgrade, and that didn't fix anything.

Ice been having issues with libcamera snt eh pi4 too, try running ls or slmething like ls/lsblk to see if ur pi is registeing the cam aftee it stops working idk?

oops.se

Brick is a term used when a device is getting unusable! Its only use is as a brick! I don't think your camera is in that state!

The pi doesnt pick up that the camera is plugged in, and says "No camera detected"
