raspberry pi zero camera cable installation

To be sure, I deleted the code running on the Pi and downloaded a fresh copy from my git repo. I haven't changed my code at all and it's working perfectly on all my other systems so I know it isn't my code. I tried running memtester to check the memory, and it passed the tests.

But I ran my script while viewing the output of htop, which showed a barely-noticeable increase in memory usage (it hovered around 80MB used, and an awful lot more free/available). I also understand this error could mean a lack of memory. I have asked a local to check, and he reports that there is no physical damage to the enclosures, so presumably the Pi itself and the ribbon cable are fine. They are sealed containers so I doubt any bug could've got in and eaten the ribbon cable. I doubt anyone has climbed up and disconnected the camera ribbon cable from the camera itself. The system is inside a locked plastic enclosure mounted on a rooftop. I understand this error usually indicates the ribbon cable is disconnected. Please check carefully the camera module is installed correctly Mmal: main: Failed to create camera component Mmal: mmal_component_create_core: could not create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1) Mmal: mmal_vc_component_create: failed to create component 'vc.ril.camera' (1:ENOMEM) Mmal: Cannot read camera info, keeping the defaults for OV5647
