Rear facing camera not working after being wet

I washed my iphone 5. I have dried, cleaned & replaced several parts (mic, battery & so on). I have replaced the rear facing camera with 2 new ones, one from ebay & one from ifix it. Still can't get it to work. Front camera works until I try to turn on the rear camera then it quits & I have to turn the phone off & back on to get the front camera back on. Everything else is working fine. Any ideas?

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hey Glen, did you try cleaning the device with 99% isopropyl alcohol and with a soft brush? You can try to use the cleaning techniques used in this guide. Another possibility (which I highly doubt) is that the parts you bought are faulty. Please dis assemble then reassemble the phone but clean the parts with the isopropl alcohol I mentioned before.

-Let me know how it goes.

-Please accept this as the answer if it answered the question.
