Please remember to ensure all connections are snug, and you do a hard reset after each replacement.

if you have tried 5 flexes from a trusted supplier, then i would follow the steps below.

1) Try replacing the other camera: the circuits in iphone cameras are linked, and sometimes, a small discrepency in the other camera can be the cause of a fault in the one you are struggling with.

2) Damaged or missing components: Using a microscope for this helps. scan the board for missing components, or scratches and chips out of ICs, and coils.

3) Reflow the FPC Connector on the board: Make sure there are no damaged pins, and reflow the connector to ensure connection to the board.

4) use a multimeter to check for continuity of the coils (Resisters, inductors, caps, etc) around the connector for your camera flex, and replace any that are not getting a full circuit.

anything further than these, will be a problem with the Front Camera Control IC. this replacement requires a board diagram, with labels pointing directly to the component. i tried a quick google search, and couldnt find an image for you. there is a possibility that someone else on here has access to the OEM drawings.
