I've removed the back cover several times now. I first replaced the battery two months ago, but then I had to replace the new battery just three weeks later cause the battery from Repair Universe was complete junk. During that second time, some of the electrical contacts got dirty and two things didn't work afterwards, and so then I cleaned the electrical contacts to solve that issue.
However, during that third time, I was removing tape with a screw driver when the screw driver slipped, hitting an electrical connection tab for one of the two camera flashes. That tab was just barely hanging on afterwards and it was pretty loose. Though, I kept it on there cause it gets covered by a plastic piece that limits how much it can move around.
The camera worked afterwards, but then a few days later it wouldn't work. After that, it worked fine for about two weeks until I went to use it again yesterday. I get a blank screen and the error message: "Camera error. Please restart camera."
I have tried several things since then, including trying safe mode and cleaning all of the electrical contacts again, but the camera still won't work. However, when I use a 3rd party app, I can use the front facing camera; it's just the rear camera that won't work.
Today, I decided to pull off that electrical tab cause it was quite loose. I want to try gluing it back in place, by putting a really tiny bit of glue on both of the two small electrical contacts. Do you know of a glue that I should use for that, and do you think this will work?
Also, do you think my issue with the rear camera is being caused by the camera flash tab being broken?
