Did you acquire an answer or found a superior direct. The two prongs of the Home switch cable were smashed and when I endeavor to raise them a bit, they broke I be familiar with where to acquire a innovative one, other than how do I replace it, it give the impression of being similar to it's been casted in the plastic there is a additional 'ghetto' fix you be able to do for this.

In this you have to eliminate the front LCD/digitizer assembly commencing from your iPhone, There are abundance of descriptions on how to receive apart the iPhone so I determine to skip with the intention of part. After that you have to scrutinize the contacts of your home buttons ribbon cable positioned on the back side of the LCD/Digitizer beneath the home button. You be able to observe what the contacts be supposed to give the impression of being similar to in the photo beneath. If one of the contacts is out of order, this determine to work for you other than you determine to necessitate to eliminate the other one as well. Utilizing a diminutive flat blade screwdriver slide it beneath the free end of remaining contact and pry up. This be supposed to not take much to break it off.

I do not desire to rain on your parade other than it takes less than 15 minutes to replace a home switch cable if you do it the accurate way. I am not saying your method does not work other than what is the possibility someone has the old calculator laying approximately with the intention of you speak of. Just acquire a heat gun or blow dryer and heat up your adhesive. Utilize a plastic tool of a number of sort if you encompass one so you would not scratch the paint off the outer glass and presently separate the glass commencing from the frame. Replace the ribon cable for the home switch and reheat the adhesive or utilize innovative adhesive and replace the screen. It’s no big deal actually. Other than superior job on being creative. If you do not fancy opening up the phone and you have acquire it jailbreaked then inaugurate SBSettings.

I had by mistakenly dropped my phone in to the water and when I attempted to open it up to permit it dry out, I spoiled the connector on the PCB for the ribbon cable marked "3" . The connector on the board requirements to be replaced. Does anyone have comprised a part number for this or might somebody point me in the right direction for receiving a replacement. What is this cable for anyhow. The broken fraction is the authentic connector on the motherboard, not the ribbon cable assembly. I have comprised and completed plenty of googling on the subject other than to no avail. It’s just recently not a common predicament for the reason that most people are additional careful when taking their phones apart.

No, it’s the connector on the PCB motherboard. It’s the thing the ribbon cable plugs into. It be supposed to not. I presently necessitate a part number. How this connector is even protected on here. It give the impression of being to me similar to its glue. Was presently curious if you originate a way to repair or replace the ribbon connector . I am having the similar issue. Did the grey latch break off or the complete connector. In addition what does the ribbon connector organize. Do not imagine an opened iPhone has a flag approximating a water damage indicator. Excavation did not set off bells at the apple store anyway. I would take it in for substitute by demonstrating them something does not work. I have comprised the similar predicament, a numeral of instructions said to flip up the white tab and drag the ribbon out of the black housing, other than I guess on a number of iPhones, containing mine, the colors are switched, so smashed the white housing and forced the ribbon out, breaking two pins in the procedure.
