my iphone 7 is rebooting non-stop. I tried to restore ios by itunes but still the same problem. I disconnected the front facing camera's flex and tried to boot, and it booted normal. So i bought new camera with flex and replaced with the old ones. But still device wont boot. It only boots when camera's flex is disconnected. Any ideas? thank you..
 
I believe I already answered your question over on the iFixit Forum but for the benefit of the MacForums community, I'll repost here and see if anyone else has some other options for you to consider:

===================

There are two possibilities here:
  1. You have a defective replacement FCAM/Sensor flex. It’s not uncommon for small replacement parts to be defective. Ideally, you want to work with known-good parts but in the absence of that, try another flex from a different or a more reputable vendor if you bought it from Amazon/eBay.
  2. You have a logic board issue. This will require a micro-soldering repair and is not DIY.
