Recently there has been an issue popping up after doing the iPhone 5 Screen Repair. Some people call it the red screen of death, but it is a flash media error. What happens is that when you are removing the front facing camera from the iPhone 5 while doing a screen repair, the wire is very fragile. Even though you may be a professional in repairing the iPhone 5 screen, you may still damage the wire. The short that is caused in the wire will cause the phone to not power up and give you the “cannot find flash media or FIND flash media and keep out error”. The only way to repair this is to change the front facing camera flex with a new one that does not have any issues.
Most of the time, this old front facing camera that Apple deems is not good anymore can still be used on older devices that are still running the iOS 6 software. So don’t throw them out. RECYCLE!!!!
However, if you are running iOS 7 and are replacing an iPhone 5 cracked screen, have a few of these front camera heads in stock to be able to switch them out on the spot if needed.
