iPhone 8 Plus Front Facing Camera Module Proximity Light Sensor Flex Cable

To install the front camera and sensor wire on an iPhone 8, you have to be precise and handle it carefully. Here is a step-by-step plan to help you through the process:

Before starting the fix, it's important to have the right tools and a clean, well-lit area to work in. Make sure you have a small set of screwdrivers, a spudger or prying tool made of plastic, pliers, and a suction cup.

1. To turn off the iPhone, press and hold the power button until the "Slide to power off" slider shows. Slide it to turn the device off for good.

2. Remove the display assembly by taking out the two screws on either side of the Lightning port on the bottom of the iPhone with a pentalobe screwdriver. Put a sticky cup near the home button and gently pull up to lift the screen. Put a plastic spudger or prying tool between the screen and the back case to get the glue to separate.

3. Lift the display: Carefully lift the display unit from the bottom and hold it near the top. Make sure you don't put too much pressure on the flex cables at the top of the gadget.

4. Find the bracket that hides the connectors for the front camera and sensor cables and take it off. Using a small tool, take out the screws that hold the bracket in place. Put the clamp and screws somewhere else.

5. When you take off the bracket, you'll see three connectors: one for the front camera, one for the sensor wire, and one for the display. Use a plastic spudger or tweezers to gently pull these connections apart. Take your time and be careful so you don't hurt anything.

6. Peel off any tape or stickers that are holding the front camera and sensor wire to the display assembly. Carefully lift the wire off the display with a plastic spudger.

7. Install the new cable for the front camera and sensor. Line up the connectors on the display unit with the connectors on the new cable. Make sure that the plugs fit tightly in their ports. To make sure the link is safe, gently press them down.

8. To put the gadget back together, follow the steps in the opposite order. Put the bracket back on and make sure the screws are tight. Align the display piece carefully and press it down to hold the glue in place. Last, put the two pentalobe screws back in the bottom of the iPhone and tighten them.

9. Turn on and test: Turn on your iPhone 8 and use the front camera and proximity sensor to make sure they work. Open the camera app and take a few test shots to make sure the camera works. Also, make test calls to make sure the proximity monitor is working the way it should.
