www.sonyericsson.com look for update service there. But as you mentioned you have changed the house, it may be a hardware problem. Check the contacts where the camera is attached to the mainboard. If you are sure there is good contact, try the firmware update.

I'm thinking it could be waht Strizlow suggests, something to do with the camera connecting to the mainboard - though if the phone thinks the phone is open, it could be you didn't transfer something from the old case?
Often the phone detects whether the phone is open or closed on sliders/flips/swivels with a small magnet somewhere on the swivel or where it meets the rest of the phone whilst closed, it could be this magnet hasn't been swapped over so the phone thinks it's open all the time.

From experience, this sounds like the housing has been removed or replaced and they have forgotten to put back a little magnet in the housing which acts as a sensor to tell the phone if its open or closed. without this the camera will not function.
ive heard this a couple of times with refurb W900's....
see this post here for a couple of pics:

the magnet is found on the inner screen housing side by the way
