Front facing camera stopped working after using iSclack to open my 5s

I got my iSclack last Friday. I immediately opened my iPhone 5s with it. After my iPhone was popped open, I had a look inside my 5s. Then I closed the iPhone.

Today I was talking to my wife on facetime. She couldn't see me, she could see me black on the screen, but the back camera was working. I suddenly realised that I pryed open my 5s last Friday. So tonight I opened my iPhone again to have a look inside what went wrong. %#*@ it My back camera stopped working as well! Then it took me half a hour to fixed the back camera connection by myself. But I still can't get the front camera to work.

I still don't know why the front camera was broken. I just popped the iPhone open on Friday. Maybe I used to much force with the iSclack but I didn't do anything else. The proximity sensor is still ok. I'm feeling so bad tonight.

Please experts here, any advice for me? Thank you very much!

You can try a new camera flex cable from ebay really cheap to eliminate the flex cable getting damaged, they are very fragile!!!!!

Have you checked the camera hasn't moved around in the glass behind the black paint,, cant imagine that would happen if you haven't taken the clear camera holder out?

Sadly i agree with con, i have an iSclack device and i NEVER use it. And also you've probably ripped/damaged the flex for the front camera/proximity sensor.
