iPod Touch 4th Generation: iPod Touch 4th Gen Volume increases and decreases on it's own

Wed, 11 Jan 2012 11:32:50 -0700

I purchased a Volume/Power cable from iFixit and installed it. When I put it back together everything seemed to work, but when I pressed the volume button once the volume continued to increase on it's own. I replaced this cable with another and the same type of problem occured. I am wondering if the 4 soulder connections may be touching or the volume buttons on the cable are faulty and not releasing when press. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

iPhone 4 Verizon: After color conversion, my volume switch is non-responsive?

Thu, 05 Jul 2012 13:55:05 -0700

A few days ago I completed a color conversion on my white CDMA iPhone 4. I turned it on, and I thought everything had gone perfectly. However, this morning when I tried to put my phone on silent, I realized that when I switched the silent/volume switch down to silent, the little bell with the line through it did not show up on the screen. It’s not responsive at all. I’ve tried restarting the phone several times. Do you think that it’s just something that’s either a) damaged by the conversion or b) just slightly plugged in wrong and can totally be fixed. To be perfectly clear, the volume rocker still works (I can raise and lower the volume just fine), it's only the switch that takes the phone from ringer to silent that isn't working. The headphone jack works too.

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
