iPhone 12 - Cameras, Flashlight & FaceID not working

Hi everyone,

i have a problem with my device where both of the cameras stopped working and for FaceID i get a message "Face ID not available - try later".

Has anyone had a similar problem or have a rough idea what might be the problem here?

Cheers!

sanjin441, You’re not giving much information. Has anything happened? Drop? Damage? Liquid?

Has anything been replaced on the phone? The components are tied to the logic board, so replacing components will cause issues. FaceID not available is a common message when replacing.

Note: I seem to recall there being a batch of bad cameras on the 12 series, but I can’t remember 100%
