After replacing rear dual cameras, the front camera stopped working

Hey,

my iphone 7 plus back camera stopped working so i replaced the back camera only.

after installing it i realized that my front camera is not working anymore it is showing Black screen.

i tried to reset the phone turn off and on , also tried to put a new selfie camera and test it and it also didn’t work. at the end i decided to factory reset the whole phone, and also didnt work.

any idea what it could be ?

note: all the rest of the phone working perfectly no issues.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

so what happened is my back camera stopped working, so i replaced only the back camera and the front camera was working didn't had any issues.

after replacing the BACK camera somehow the front camera stopped working

the dual cameras at the back are not connected to the front camera.it is separated. in different cables.

they are seperate cables but they work on the same circuit in the motherboard.

put your original back camera back in and see if the selfie camera works.

Long press Camera App until a prompt pops up, click [App Info] > [Storage Usage], then clear its data and cache.

After that restart the phone and see if all things are working correctly.
