The front curtain closes but then the motor that is supposed to wind it back does not run. I tested the motor with external power and it spins normally so the issue is that the main board is not sending any power to the motor, instead it just closes the front curtain then gives a camera error. Why is this happening?

My Sony NEX 5R keep saying 'Please insert memory card' when I turn it on. I'm unable to take pictures or record videos. I've tried replacing memory card and battery pack but the problem persists.

But if I don't touch the lens the screen does not flicker. All the other features on the camera works great. The only problem I am having is with the flickering. I am thinking there is a connection problem or something along those lines. Can someone help me fix this problem without sending to Sony to get repaired. I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Brian
