I had the screen replaced over a year ago, have had problems right around that time.
Who replaced the screen?
Replaced back camera
Replaced ANOTHER digitizer
Ensured tight cable 20 times (if it were a cable issue, it doesn't explain why the light works but 10 minutes later after not moving it does not)
Who did this work?

Sep 12, 2016 8:07 PMby ammonation,Local repair shop replaced the screen the first time. I recently replaced the screen again (as I cracked it, again).
I replaced the back camera, I replaced the 3rd digitizer.
I also today, replaced the power button/led light cable/ribbon.. Get the same results.
When pressing the flashlight button the light flickers, but rarely goes on.

Apple does not view the iPhone as user-serviceable so, by having anyone unauthorized work on the phone, you've forfeit any remaining warranty or option for out-of-warranty support by Apple.

Sep 12, 2016 8:13 PMby ammonation,Yep, understood. Repair was done a year ago, phone was already out of warranty.
I inspected the connection for the power button, didn't see damage.
I seem to get some response when I turn the LED to the "on" position in the camera app. Flash light works sometimes after.
Though I had also reset to factory default/wiped clean and go no results.

That may be. However, Apple offers out-of-warranty support as well.
The phone is damaged. There's nothing anyone here can do to help you beyond suggesting you may need to purchase a new one.
