Question

Flash is Disabled The iPhone needs to cool down before you c

Nov 2, 2018 3:09PM PDT

Hello everyone. I have a problem with my iphone 6. My phone was dropped, screen scrached, screen glass was replaced. Then some days after glass replacement rear camera stopped working, just black image was shown and that error icon in the up left corner.. Front camera is working fine.

I tried to reset my iphone, then i opened it, disconnected back camera at all and tried to turn on my phone and it was exactly same error even without the camera instaled. Then i tried to boot up iphone with camera installed and when i touched camera area with my finger i felt heat on the camera module itself. Also I noticed that battery is draining so fast when i do nothing with my iphone and even when the phone is turned of.

So whats wrong with my iphone? And how it could be fixed? Thanks for help.

Those bits either died or came unplugged. There are many YouTubes and iFixit articles about working inside an iPhone but 9 out of 10 or worse times the owner makes it worse as they tear some cable inside.
