Front Facing camera not working.

Front Facing camera not working.

After a display assembly, the front camera of my iPhone stopped working, I replaced the front camera twice and the problem still there. Could this be a logic board problem that means I need to replace the whole board? If so, what could cause this problem?

There is a logic board issue whereby the camera, either front, or back camera is no longer recognized by the iphone 4. The only way to fix it, is to have the logic board component replaced. This service can be found on ebay.

I researched this to no end and I think finally I resolved it. YOU MUST replace the front lens from the old screen or it won/t work. The lens pushes the camera to make contact with the steel shield on the back of camera which then grounds it to the under side of board. With out the it, it becomes useless because it isn't grounded correctly. I used a small metal ground between the camera and it's metal bracket for the ground.

When you replaced the camera, did you disconnect the battery 1st? If not...disconnect battery for a couple minutes & restart phone.

My front facing camera was not workin on my jailbroken iphone 4. I disabled springtomize and then it was working so look in apps like ifile and springtomize to see if you disabled the front facing camera setting
