Camera Flex Cable for OnePlus One 16GB

The Camera Flex Cable / Patta in your OnePlus One 16Gb is a thin ribbon cable that carries both power and data signals between the camera module and the motherboard. Without an intact flex cable, the OnePlus One 16Gb motherboard cannot communicate with the camera module — causing camera detection errors, a black camera screen, or complete camera failure even when the camera module itself is in perfect condition.

If the camera worked normally and then stopped after a drop or a previous repair — especially one that involved opening the phone — the flex cable is the first thing to check. A kinked, torn, or disconnected flex cable is far more common after physical handling than actual camera module failure. A technician can confirm by testing with a known-good cable on your OnePlus One 16Gb.

Yes. Camera flex cables are model-specific — the connector type, cable length, routing path, and pin configuration are unique to OnePlus One 16Gb. Using a flex cable from a different model will not connect properly and may damage the camera connector or motherboard port.

It is a moderate repair requiring the phone to be opened, the old flex cable carefully disconnected from both the camera module and the motherboard connector, and the new cable seated correctly. No soldering is required in most cases. Professional tools and experience are recommended for your OnePlus One 16Gb.

Yes — a 7-day replacement warranty covering manufacturing defects is included. An unboxing video is mandatory for all warranty claims. Flex cables showing signs of physical damage from improper installation are not covered under warranty. For more information, check out SAHII's Return Policy.
