Found the camera ic problem...
The first thing we do is to use the microscope to check the surrounding of the camera connector (Camera FPC). Similar to those cases before, we found one component is broken in nearby.
This kind of problem is usually caused by human nature.
It’s obvious that someone was prying from this side when taking the LCD off from the motherboard.
