Drop my iPhone and both camera not working

My iPhone out of warranty. 4 months ago the screen was changed because of a small crack. Dropped my phone ( front side hit the floor) and then I realized both camera and flash light not working. no crack on the screen.

Is it because of the broken front camera that affects the whole camera system?

I opened the phone following all the instruction in ifixit website and all the ports are connected and not seen any obvious crack or issue. I was wondering that it’s because of the broken third-party screen that affects the whole system.

One camera affects the entire camera system, is your flash is not working I’m a 80% that your rear camera is the problem.

I disconnected front camera and both connectors of the rear camera and connected each separately. the front camera works when the rear camera disconnected but the logic board became hot. So , I decided to connect all for now. You are right. the rear camera is the issue.

but still the flash light doens't work when the rear camera not connected.

Do you think that after replacing the rear camera the flash will work ?

I saw a lot of used camera on the eBay half price as Ifixit, not sure how it works.

It's expensive to pay $110 for an old iPhone 7 plus

Yes, iPhone hardware requires rear camera to make the flash work, and yes rear camera is expensive, you can try to find a phone with icloud or with another issue, i think is more cheaper.
