Flash not working after screen and battery replacement

I dropped my phone and shattered the screen in a spectacular fashion. Both cameras and the flash worked after that happened. I ordered new parts from iFixIt and replaced the screen and popped in a new battery just two days later

Now I've got no flash! Didn't realize how often I used it as a flashlight until last night when I was trying to navigate a dark house.

Opened the phone back up today and reseated all the connectors, including the rear camera, and had the LED flash working right until I put it back together, now no flash again, but cameras both work fine. Flashlight is available, just doesn't light the LED anymore.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

I purchased a power button flex, but other issues popped up while I was waiting for time to work on it. The screen seems to have less sensitive areas than others, I thought that was due to the screen protector I added. The front camera became intermittent, then went completely out. I also noticed 2-5 lines from the top of the display showing up at the bottom. And last night the whole display became non-responsive. I'm sending it out for some help.

I'll let you know what the verdict is.

Hi trose95822,

I have the same problem too, after replacing my iphone 6 (no plus) screen, the flash stopped working. It does not work either in torch mode or in photo / video mode.

The rear camera works well.

When the torch button is pressed, the flash flashes for a few moments, as in this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqxVgYUj...).

I recently replaced the flash but still have the same problem.

Did you manage to solve it??

Thanks in advance.

I replaced the midframe - back glass purchased with small parts assembled for 3 iphone (2) iphone 8 plus and (1) iphone 8. All the above repairs left the rear flash only not working. Camers work fine. Any help would be appreciated. These are not the original power volume flexes but aftermarket ones. Is the flex (mated) to the logic board like home buttons? and any fixes other than the one above would help.

You should try to replace the Power Button Flex; it contains the Flash. It was probably damaged by the impact of the drop.
