Start with these practical steps

Camera will not work
A camera that is black, blurry, or unable to focus can be affected by software, damage, or a failed component.
DIY tip
Restart the phone and check that no app restrictions are active.
3
Touch screen is unresponsive
Dropped phones can develop areas that do not register touch or a display that responds unpredictably.
DIY tip
Force restart and remove a damaged screen protector before testing.

Charging issues
Slow charging, loose cable fit, and no charging can trace back to cables, debris, ports, or batteries.

Try a certified cable and inspect the port carefully.

Water damage
Water exposure can affect a phone long after the initial accident, especially if it is charged too soon.
DIY tip
