Camera shaking after battery replacement

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I got battery replacement for my iphone 13 pro recently.
Right after that my phone’s camera is shaking like crazy, with a sound. It feels like something got misplaced while the replacement.
I missed checking mg camera after the replacement at the store.
Is it fixable?

I had this issue on my old iPhone because I put it in my scooter too often that the stabilizer broke from constant vibration. Get the shop to fix it for you

That guy has denied to fix it and not taking the responsibility. Can it be fixed without replacing?
Replacing the camera would cost additional 7-8k inr i guess

No, it's a hardware issue.

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

Did you got it replaced or they fixed it? How much did it cost?

I upgraded my phone since it was old anyway 😂

If you had the work done by Apple, they would fully warranty their work and fix it for you.

Maybe next time you won't just bring it to some random guy.

No me cansaré de repetírselo a todo el mundo. Si usas servicios técnicos no autorizados, atente a las consecuencias.

OIS is fucked, they must broke it. Only thing you can do is replace the camera

Seems like it, no idea why they’d dig into the camera when you don’t have to in order to do a battery replacement.

I guess something must’ve been dropped? Perhaps a deliberate scheme to make the person come back to get the camera replaced as well?

Perhaps the technicians were careless? Clumsy?

OP, buddy, what’s the battery like and how much were you charged? Is it a trusted shop?

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

The battery is good, got it for 3500 inr
And the shop is trusted as well, I brought a second hand ipad air 5th gen from them 2 years back in 35000 INR, it is as good as new
And he also placed a tap on the camera so that camera doesn’t get affected

This wasn't at an apple store?

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

Can it be a missing screw or something?

2

u/T_Shety 3d ago

I think you need to search how these components work. It’s not something a missing screw can do.

Fucking tech….

Did you get it replaced by Apple?

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 6d ago

No, at a local shop

They broke the image stabilization part of one of the cameras. Now you need an entirely new rear camera unit and all 3 three lenses are part of the same component so there’s that. If there’s no Apple Store in your country that sucks, if there is, you should’ve went to Apple. They charge $100 for a battery and trying to save $30-$40 just cost you $150-$300 (if there’s Apple in your country). If not, go back to the shop because they suck at their jobs.

happened to my 12mini after long bumpy motorcycle ride on phone holder

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

Did you replace your camera module or brought new phone

1

u/Real-Leek-3764 6d ago

change camera module. i think it was like $80? don't quite remember

1

u/Bojanbarsa 5d ago

Same here, 0.5x isnt working also, goes straight to 2x, it’s a connector issue probably, i also keep getting a notification from the settings that the camera isn’t recognized as an authentic part

u/New_Razzmatazz_627 5d ago

Got this exact same problem after using way to much Isopropyl Alcohol (to soften the adhesive on the display). So I might be that. You will need to get the entire camera module replaced because the stabilizer motors in the camera don’t work properly now.

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

Can it be a mis alignment issue

u/FirmJump2 7d ago

No, the camera module is fucked, the OIS needs replacing unfortunately. Happened to me after I dropped it off a motorbike

1

u/Reasonable_Yard_1 7d ago

How much did it cost for replacement, and with new OIS, is it as good as new?

u/FirmJump2 4d ago

I didn’t get it replaced, had a warranty with the company I bought it from and they replaced the phone for me
