Front Camera not working after replacing screen

I replaced my iPhone 6s Plus’s screen including camera, sensor [works], and call-speaker [works] with OEM.

All flex cables are intact and undamaged.

I’ve read some posts about that it might be related to a grounding bracket.

I can’t find any information about the location of this bracket on the 6s Plus.

Any idea what might be causing it and how to fix it?

Things i’ve tried:

Force closing Camera App.

Restarting Phone.

Settings Reset

Factory Reset

Upgrading to latest iOS [13.6]

Using different video apps [Facetime & Whatsapp]

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Have you tried to put the old front cam from your old screen to the new, maybe the cam on the new screen is defect? Or is the old front cam also defect? This is the first thing you can try.

The old camera's flex cable was broken which is why I replaced it.

So I can't test this, unfortunately.

Try to take the new cam of the screen and put it back on, maybe it wasn’t put correct in by factory

I actually disassembled those parts when it didn't work.

It all looks good.

Only thing that left is to buy a new front cam and try that one. I don’t think it is a grounding problem. You might have received a screen with bad / defect front cam.

That's true but I hate paying for it if it doesn't fix it.

Unless there's a good return policy :P

I just did a System Info check using Cydia and it does show a serial number for the front camera.

UPDATE: I decided to buy a new Front Camera to see if that fixes the issue.

Will update asap.

Replacing the camera with a brand new camera did not fix the issue.

Any more ideas?
