Recently changed the battery in my phone and now the rear and front camera, the flashlight and the earpiece do not work. What do u need to replace to fix this problem? Thanks for help
Just replaced the FCAM ass. Success!! Everything is back to normal. I’m not sure why exactly exchanging batteries made the FCAM ass. fail in two identical situations, I can only assume it was because OP and I didn’t think to remove front screen entirely and it was damaged in the process. Best thing is, I contacted the battery seller as they advertised a better battery than what I received and they are sending me another one. For the Au$16 mistake of requiring another FCAM ass. it looks like this phones going to last for years to come. Best of luck OP, please keep us updated. Cheers.
That is odd. Those components are on three separate flexes and independent drive circuits on the logic board. The only common denominator I can see is some pry damage that occurred when you removed the screen connectors. Those connectors are surrounded by tiny surface mount components that are part of the circuitry for the cameras, flashes and the earpiece. You will need to open up the phone again and do a thorough visual inspection, preferably with magnification. Look for partially or fully dislodged components. If this is indeed your problem, then this will require a micro-soldering repair and is not DIY. You could also try to do a full DFU Restore first (backup your data!) to eliminate any potential software or corruption issues.
I also have this specific issue, only changed out the battery (didn’t even remove the screen), and then both cameras, torch and earpiece speaker ceased working. I have inspected ribbons/connectors and all appear fine, Have just undergone DFU restore to no avail, Suspected motherboard damage, but I don’t know how this could have happened. Edit: Opening the phone, the rear camera/torch works, then ceases once the phone is closed again. Further proving my below suspicion that the front camera ribbon is the culprit.
I have same problem just replaced screen and battery both cameras not working even flash light But earphones are working
Could this issue occur randomly without opening the phone? Cause this is what happened to me. I think I dropped the phone before both cameras and the flashlight stopped working. Sorry for opening this thread again
i got schematic..found power lines, replaced power lines…tekbotz
It’s been a long time since I had this problem, but check that flex that is posted about. That was my issue. Make sure you have the flex connector snapped properly! They are kinda hard to seat, so that’s where I would start. Then I would buy the cable I talked about in the early post.
I replaced my battery and ended up with the same trouble. Later, replacing the front camera assembly fixed my phone. The ribbon ripped in the sharp turn, apparently when I initially opened the phone. Thanks for all the input.
