iPhone 7 apple logo boot loop after bad "Front Camera and Sensor Cable" - GSM-Forum

MaHuAka · 06-09-2017, 12:56

Hello Friends,
I need a help.
I got iPhone 7 which was opened before me.
The problem is when I connect "Front Camera and Sensor Cable" and try to start it getting in boot loop at apple logo screen.
I have a look on the cable and I found destroyed connectors, after that I bought a new cable from iFixit, but today after change its the same.
I will attach a picture of the old "Front Camera and Sensor Cable" cable connector.

Without connected cable the phone boots and its responsible.

P.S. The home button is not working also, but I believe that's because previous owner destroy it on opening.
As I can see the phone is still under guarantee, but after all this opening I don't Bellevue I can ask for help from apple.

Million thanks in advance,
Angel

Check lines near front camera connector on the board, likely shorted something since the connector was broken initially, if not then reball audio IC, often solves any boot looping issues on iP7
