Broken LiDAR Scanner iPhone 13, rear system change

Hi, I replaced a damage iPhone with a pulled rear system form another iPhone, but have not transferred the former LiDAR Scanner. As there is a manual for this on here, I used the LiDAR sensor from another iPhone, but it seems to be paired to the iPhone as well. Has anyone ever exchanged a LiDAR Scanner successfully, so one that was not installed in the original device? The measure app (to test the LiDAR) just freezes….

The lidar in the pulled chassis probably isn’t compatible with the motherboard. Normally everything must be swapped over between chassis’s.

It might be possible you did everything correct. The housing might have the wrong LiDaR filter installed. A lot of housing suppliers will use something that looks right from the outside but doesn't function like the original filter. My guess is that it's not even a filter at all, just some paint. If you still (it's been 3 years) have the original housing, you might be able to transfer what's left of the original filter to the new housing (after you scratched off the knock-off paint inside the back glass)
