Hi everyone, i did a screen replacement of my iphone 5 but after that the front camera doesn’t work anymore, i tried to reseat the connector but steel not working, could i screw up the logic board? help!!!

I have two like this and it is board damage at the very edge of the board.

you probably damaged the front camera flex cable. they are very fragile, replace and your camera will be fine iPhone 5 Front-Facing Camera and Sensor Cable Replacement

i bought a replacement camera from ifixit as well and did the replacement, they don’t work. the camera when turned on just gives a small glimpse of what it sees and then freezes, do you know what the problem is?

It seems you break the cable of front-facing camera. Can you describe more detail about the front -facing camera.

Does the back camera work? Some times if back cameras broke it won’t cycle to the front camera
