iphone 4 repair issues

Video

hey

i bought an iphone 4 off ebay last week that had a cracked screen broken dock connector and camera's were not working

i have successfully replaced the screen and fixed the dock and it is charging and working away now but im stuck on the camera issues , i ordered new camera's for both the front and back of the iphone and installed correctly but they are still not working.

when i go into the camera app on the iphone it takes a long time to open the james bond style shutter thing (sometimes it doesnt open at all) and when it does open i just get dotty lines and a black screen and absolutly no picture of my surroundings!

i have everything functioning correctly now except for the camera's but i really want to get them working properly

anyone have any ideas what could be up?

Where the water sensors triggered on the phone?
If so I would remove the metal shields like in the photo and soak in isopropanoyl for a night

where are the water sensors in iphone 4? seller failed to mention it if it has been water damaged though he did mention the camera not working

this is the cleanest shot i could get for you, its difficult to get it close up and clear with a old camera :mad:

as for the one in the dock part i have already replaced the dock with a new one

i cannot make out if there is any water damage tbh

please note i have obviously taken this pic without the cameras connected

where do i get that chemical stuff? and is it safe? no risk of messing up the logic board completely?
