iPhone 7 plus - Rear telephoto camera (2x) not working

Hi, I have an issue in my iPhone 7 Plus A1784. The telephoto camera doesn’t work.

When I try to click the "1x" button on the camera, the image for 0.5 seconds gets blurred and nothing else happens. There is not even a black screen. In portrait mode, "depth effect" is gray.

Other camera applications also do not recognize the telephoto camera. 3uTools recognizes ID of camera, but surely it is encoded in a normal camera.

The flashlight is working properly. The wide-angle and front camera are also working properly. The diode measurement of the two cameras’ sockets on the motherboard was fine (when motherboard is turn off without power from battery etc.) , so it seems to me that this is not a problem on the board.

I will give the phone to the local service to check if the camera is damaged, but before that I wanted to consult someone on this forum

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Chances are one of the dual Cameras as you've mentioned have gone bad. Usually after a result of a drop. Replacing the rear camera assembly should fix this problem.

Part is quite expensive so might want to leave it to a reputable phone repair shop to get it replaced in case it doesn't fix the problem.

Look on eBay for a replacement camera unit. Old phone now so should be cheap enough.
