Lost auto brightness after front facing camera replacement on iPhone6s

Earlier this week I left my phone in the sun, and after that my camera and speaker stopped working, so I replaced the cable, and it worked again,

But after that I didn’t had auto brightness any more. I tried cleaning up a bit, didn’t work.

I ordered a new cable, still didn’t work. I checked the old (original cable) , it works, but without camera and speaker.

So I assume the problem lies in the replacement parts, or could it be Apple bricking my phone because I’m repairing it?

I have no clue, but probably ifixit knows what to do?

Should I order some more cables? Or does anyone here knows some legit cables? Do the cables of ifixit work?

I’m running iOS 12, could that be the problem?

There are issues with the auto brightness on the iPhone 8/X but nothing has been noticed on the older devices.

So you are probably just facing a poor quality replacement part. It's sadly quite common, especially if you are ordering form eBay or Amazon. Order from a reputable vendor like iFixit, MobileSentrix, Injured Gadgets etc.
