iPhone 6 front camera / earpiece no longer work after screen swap

I recently swapped my screen on an iPhone 6. After the swap I lost use of front camera / earpiece / everything on that cable. Visual inspection, everything looked alright, but I went ahead and replaced the front camera flex cable anyway. Still no luck with the new flex cable. I am now noticing the phone is getting warm and draining battery quick. Are the odds good that I screwed up another flex cable? Could there be any other issues?

Answer this question I have this problem too

I am having a very similar issue after a 6 plus swap, but with the flex cable attached, this unit won't even boot. If I learn anything from my question, I'll share it here.

This is what was posted to my similar question:

"Sounds like a camera issue. Faulty cameras can cause issues where it shows a black screen and text on boot, but I haven't heard of a red screen issue with the camera plugged in.

Try out the camera from the old screen, see if it works. If so, you know it is an issue with the new camera on the new screen."

Hmmm... I've tried the old camera and a new one, both give me the same issue.

I swapped the old flex cable, camera/mic assembly in and it boots. Mic doesn't work, which was a problem in old phone too.
