    Camera LED (flash) broken

    I know what you mean. Nothing I can do though. I'm not paying a fortune for a new M/board. The only advice I can give is not to drop the phone while you're using it as a flashlight.

    Camera LED (flash) broken

    I've searched a few parts sites & ebay and nobody seems to sell just the led. Can only find the whole motherboard and it's too expensive. I could buy a used phone for less. So I guess I'll just have to live without a flash until I get a new phone.

    Camera LED (flash) broken

    Thanks, watching the vid is very informative. He only mentions the LED flash in passing though, he doesn't mention if it can be replaced. It looks like I'd have to replace the whole motherboard (if it's even available as a spare), which I'm guessing will be pretty expensive and also I'd end up...

    Camera LED (flash) broken

    The phone is out of warranty, and insurance will only replace the phone, not pay for repairs. From what I can tell, the flash is on the motherboard (see pic). I'm wondering if it can be replaced or if I'd have to replace the whole motherboard.

    Camera LED (flash) broken

    The rear camera flash has stopped working. I've tried it with the camera and torch/assistive light apps and it doesn't come on, so I am assuming it is hardware. Can I buy a new flash and how easy is it to replace? I've searched and nobody else seems to have had this issue.
