Unknown parts⚠️Camera replacement

My iPhone 12 fell off accidentally and luckily nothing broke or scratched, anyway, because it had a cover with a screen protector but unfortunately, the camera stopped working normally (it could take barely unrecognizable images with black lines on it but could scan QR codes in the daytime). So, I replaced a genuine camera that worked perfectly but my iPhone 12 still shows the annoying warning message of “Unknown parts⚠️“

How can I get rid of this message, folk????

The unknown part error is as important as the Check Engine light in your car.

—It needs to be serviced A.S.A.P.—

He can’t replace it with a “new, genuine camera” because he does not have legitimate access to Apple parts.

You should have had the work done by an authorized service provider.

Then take it back to them and have them make it right.

You should have mentioned that up front, but it seems you’re not actually here for help, you’re just here to rant.

Hello ~ Apple will not accept it in trade. It has been damaged by being improperly repaired.
