Symptoms
- Rear camera doesn't work. Just shows black screen
- Front camera is working
Solution
- First step would be to try replacing the rear camera with a known working part
- You may need to flash an update to get the rear camera to work
- If new rear camera does not fix issue, Diode Mode the Rear Camera Connector
- Check for any shorts or Open Lines (OL)
- Check the LDO U1601. This is a power rail for the camera
- IMPORTANT: Check orientation of the LDO from the actual board. ZXW shows Pin 1 incorrectly, so orientation is wrong. (see image for correct orientation)
- See if this LDO is loose or broken.
- Or just try replacing it & see if rear camera starts working.
