You've tried multiple replacements of which part(s)? This is almost always an issue with the rear camera (or front camera, but if that is working it's probably not that).

Flash and cameras often go out together because the flash enable signal comes through camera circuitry. If the camera is bad, the flash can't get the signal to turn on.

Thansk for the response, so the part I’ve tried replacing is the camera and it isn’t being recognized by the phone so it’s basically just black, flash doesn’t work. Is it an issue with the flash ?

@aaron66088 It’s unlikely in my experience. Usually the flash doesn’t work because of the camera rather than vice versa. Does the rear camera work if you disconnect the front facing camera?

If not, this is likely to be a board level issue.

The rear camera might be disconnected or damaged if the camera fails then the flash light also fail.
