Hi! I just replaced the entire screen panel on my Nexus 5x because it stopped working (it flipped 180* the screen and the image it showed was mirrored -- completely impossible to use the phone). I read several reviews describing the same issue and fixing it by replacing the screen panel. Now I'm having issues with the camera. The front camera works, but the back one doesn't. I reopened the phone to check it was plugged in correctly to the motherboard, and it was. Is there a way to figure out if it's the actual camera that's not working or if it has something to do with the motherboard?
Thanks! -MJ
Hello,
I replaced the back camera, but unfortunately the autofocus of the new camera does not work. All pictures are blurred. When I open the camera-app a "click-noise" can be heard. I also installed 3rd-party app, which has the option to change the focus manually. But that did not work as well. I also did a secure boot, but that also did not solve the problem. Do you have an idea, what I can do?
Thanks in advance,
Klaus
Hello,
just an update for my former question: I exchanged the camera-module again and now it is working. It seems, that the other "new" module was broken!
Cheers,

I had a similar issue. After replacing the camera, the auto focus wouldn't work anymore. I did not test it with a manual focus app.
After some research i found out that this could have been caused by a faulty connection of the ribbon cable.
I reopened the phone, detached the ribbon cable and firmly pressed it on again. Had to repeat this twice, and after the second time the camera is doing auto focus again!
