Front camera and proximity sensor not working after screen replacement

Front camera and proximity sensor not working after screen replacement

Recently replaced my front panel assembly and now my front camera and proximity sensor don't seem to work. Camera just freezes when I try to use front camera, and sensor is completely unresponsive. Does the copper tape play a significant role? I tried to transfer over as best as I could. Also the replacement part should not involve any soldering or other adjustment correct? Should just be a plug in go?

"after power flex cable replacement, no front facing camera and the vibrator just vibrates non stop when i got a call or message. long annoying vibration. i have no idea how to solve the problem. Does anyone have this issue in the same tim no front cam and !@#$%^ up vibration?

I pulled the wifi antenna a bit during the replacement. Could this be the reason? Ohhh and its an iPhone 5."

the same thing happened when i replaced the screen for an iphone 5s. every time i tried to open the camera app it would just close; However the camera did work on snapchat and i assume other apps as well but i dont understand why it didnt work on the Iphone camera app. anyone have similar issues or different?

"I had the same issue. I disconnect the battery before the repair. When putting everything back together I plugged in the LCD and digitizer cables, then the battery, and then the front camera assembly. That seemed to work for me on a 5c repair but not on the 5s. On the 5s I had the replace the camera assembly.

Still not sure why this happens. Good luck!"
