"Hello,

There is likely one of two possible causes for what your describing: either a small tear in the camera flex cable or a grounding issue with new screen. With the screen & camera working while just connected with cables, the camera cable is not bent much, so a small tear may still make a connection. The camera cable is bent backwards with screen installed, so a small tear may separate. Use a magnifying glass to closely inspect the camera cable.

To test for a grounding issue with new screen, test the camera on the ""original"" cracked screen to see if it works when installed."

I replaced my iPhone 7 Plus screen and now my home button, front camera, and sound doesn’t work why is this

After performing the iphone 6s screen replacement, it is very likely to mess up the camera because of the new screen you put on. Try changing different screen and the camera itself which should fix the issue. Still not working then try resetting the phone or just try updating the ios on your iphone

Are you certian that the camera stops working, or is the lense blocked just making everything black on the screen? You might simply have it positioned it in your phone wrong and thats causing it to not get a clear view out of the front of the screen causing the problem you are experiencing. Did your new screen come with those two little plastic brackets for the front facing camera and ambiant light sensor? If not you need to chip them off you old screen and superglue them onto your new one. Just take a pair of tweezers to handle the bracket, put a drop of superglue on a piece of cardboard or something disposable, and lightly dip the bracket into the glue on the side you are gluing down, then quickly get it on your new screen.

"I have this issue on my iPhone 7 Plus. I changed the screen and the home button works fine. The front camera and ear speaker didn’t work. I changed the front camera piece with a new one. The ear speaker works, but front camera does not. I have no idea what the problem is. Help :(

Also, I changed the screen for a friend. Same issue happened. Ear speaker work, but camera does not. There is no way this could happen to me twice, I mean, I have no idea.

I did apply heat to easily remove and avoid tearing up the front ribbon cables. From reading this, I get that might have caused a problem. What do you guys suggest?

I got a new front camera part coming in as a replacement for the iPhone 7 Plus. I have to see wat happens."
