Why does my cameras and flashlight not work?

I had bought this phone second hand and the lady who sold me this phone said the front and back cameras don’t work. thats fine, i can repair them right? so i did and spent a lot of money on parts, replaced them and they still don’t work along with my flashlight. I would love a second opinion about what’s going on, and if it’s deeper that just the replacement parts. Also if it’s worth it getting it fixed of just buying a whole new iphone 6.

Assuming the replacement parts you ordered are fully functional, you probably have a logic board issue.

The two cameras are driven by a common voltage regulator on the logic board so it is possible that is the source of your camera issues. The flash is a totally different circuit and flex so it's odd that it too is defective. My immediate concern is that the phone may have had some water ingress in the past, even a slight amount.

At any rate, this phone will have to be looked at by a micro-solderer to properly diagnose the issues.
