Both Cameras and flash not working!

Hi all,

purchased an iPhone XR as a bit of a project to try fix up. The phone was dropped by the previous owner and since then both front and rear facing cameras have stopped working, also the flash isn’t working.

firstly, I inspected the flex connections and can see that all are installed correctly onto the board, none have ripped off or anything. The cables themselves don’t have any damage on at all either.

my first attempt to fix was replace the rear facing camera, unforuntely that hasn’t fixed the problem and both cameras remain black and still the flash doesn’t work.

Im not too sure what to do next, maybe the front facing camera flex is shorting or has just packed in? I really want to keep Face ID, at the minute that’s not working just saying Face ID unavailable because I presume the front facing camera isn’t working.

any other diagnostics I can try? Just trying to see what the issue is exactly

Regards,

Stewart

Well, you picked the monkey from previous owner’s shoulder and placed it on yours. Cameras and flash are interconnected and the only hope for an easy fix has gone with the unsuccessful rear camera replacement. Diagnostics on an iPhone is not something you can learn overnight. Since you’re not ready to lose Face ID your only option is to find someone who’s able to do troubleshooting and microsoldering, not a DIY repair in any case.

Yea, I got it for £200 so I’m certain I can make my money back. Everything else is working apart from the cameras and flash

@stewartps You'll probably make a profit too in the end, but you'll have to revert to someone good in his job to get it working. I know the UK has very skillful techs though.

@arbaman I dropped my phone and it was run over by a truck.

Display was distroyed. I fixed the display. But face-Id, front camera, rear camera and flash are not working.

Sensor to detect brightness is working.

Any hint?
