Hey Guys,

I recently replace by back camera, after putting it all together the iPhone heats up when started.

Some facts:

- hot spot is the top right corner of the back

- no heating during boot or while in lock screen (even if the display stays on the whole time)

- heats up during usage in unlocked state

- when switching to standby it cools down again

- when charging the phone, it heats up, even when I completely disconnect the display

Do you may have an idea what could cause this issue? Thanks in advance!! :)

Is this a good question?

Yes No

A faulty camera could probably cause this. Try with another one and see if the issue persists.

Thanks for the fast answer. I installed the new camera and the original one, the issue still persists.

That's odd. Could you have damaged the logic board when replacing it the first time?
