i just replaced my screen on my iPhone SE, and while the camera app does open and the rear camera works, the front camera is just black? I can press the shutter button but it will not take a picture. do i need to replace my camera or is there something wrong with the phone?
Is this a good question?

Replace the front facing camera assembly, sounds like when you replaced it it was either broken or defective.
Was this answer helpful?
thanks, but it is the camera that came from the iphone, i moved it over to the screen when i replaced it. it was working fine with the original screen. should i still replace it?
First, did you check if the proximity and light sensor is working? They are on the same cable and if they do not work either it could be a faulty cable or connection.
they are not working. is the connection bad in the cable or in the mainboard?
In other words, I should probably replace the camera, correct?
Yeah. If it was anything else it would be a logic board issue which is a bigger hassle to diagnose (one of the causes is a damaged front camera FPC connector on the logic board)

I have the same problem, after second screen replacement Also, mic for Siri, earpiece and proximity sensor not functioning . The first time I replaced the screen on this phone, everything worked fine, even though I used a cheap generic replacement .
