Why won't my iPhone 5S flashlight turn off?

I figured I would post this. My light was on for probably close to three full months. If I turned on the flashlight it would be very bright, and when I turned it off, the light would dim slightly but wouldn't turn off. I didn't want to pay to have them replace the whole camera so I left it. I had it in my pocket during a water fight when this happened so water damage may have been an issue. But rice, hitting it, soft resets, hard resets, taking the battery out, resyncing with iTunes, nothing worked. I even let the battery die COMPLETELY but then when I restarted it the light just came right back on. Then three months later it just magically shut off. AND it didn't burn out. Now it works for the flashlight and the camera app. So I ended up saving $70 just by letting it sit.

"Tap the phone camera flat on a solid surface, not too hard but hard enough to hear a smack, the flash light should go off then

The camera should be like this on the corner of the surface you'll tap it against, but the opposite way (camera facing down)

"Gary was right on, unplug the battery for a minute then try a RESTORE directly through iTunes and make sure to update to the latest iOS (don't forget to back up and make sure you are aware of the iCLOUD ACCOUNT AND PASSWORD attached the phone before doing this). I've seen this issue a lot. Most of the time it's from liquid damage or logic board damage and not from a faulty camera, but your camera could also be defective. I guess the LED could be shorting out if it was touching the logic board.

If the screen replacement was done recently I would bring it back and ask them to test another camera in the phone just to rule out of the possibility of a faulty camera."
