Hey all, My customer got her screen done by someone else and now her back camera and her flashlight do not work. I’m trying to think what it could be as he would have had no reason to unplug the flex with the flashlight on and the guy she went too is quite skilled. Any idea all?
Is this a good question?

I believe the flashlight flex is the power button flex. It sounds like maybe something got knocked off near the flashlight ic or the flashlight ic was damaged or loosened. Did she drop it before the screen was replaced? My guess is the damage came from the occurrence that damaged the screen at the same time the back camera and flashlight stopped working. I doubt that they checked to see if the camera was working with a damaged screen. Just a thought

Yeah, its the same flex but it isn't connected to the camera so I kinda ruled that out. So it's more then likely a baord issue?
That's what I was saying. It sounds like the most likely problem is the flashlight ic has damaged contacts from the impact that broke the screen. It's the same issue they had on the iPhone 7/7 plus. Drop it or a ex girlfriend throws it onto or into something and the impact can damage the solder contacts.
