iPhone 4S rear camera not functioning - GSM-Forum

Hello, I have issues with my iPhone 4S camera.
Rear camera is absolutely not working, shutter not opening, flash won't work with torch app, whereas front camera works perfectly in Instagram, Skype etc. I took my phone apart, and seems like a U10 crystal component is abit broken (looks like a very tiny fragment has came off from a crystal).
Are there any ways to track more issues via checking voltages, cleaning PCB etc?

I have seen solutions for U10 chip by removing it and making a jumper, but how am I able to remove it? I do not have hot air, but I do have flux and soldering iron.
