Could you provide some guide about home button 3G replacement? I can't find any help for this and the home button is a piece that regulary stops working on 3G's.

If your home button isn't working correctly take it out give it a good clean and re-install. Usually its due to pocket lint and after removing the home button you will see a lot of it. May need some tape to refit it.

Anyone had any luck taking the antenna and speaker off of a defective dock connector assembly and reattaching it to a replacement assembly?

You may need to push down on the glass while screwing those two screws in. Is the glass flush with the bezel?

I have just ordered a new speaker replacement for my iphone 3g, and was also wondering if anyone could help put up a guide on how to replace this. Thanks

Is this the speaker at the bottom of the phone or the earpiece speaker? If it is the earpiece speaker, it is pretty easy.

Hi,

I have a problem with my WiFi, it doesn't work.

So, instead of leaving it to a apple store, I would like to change the wifi card by myself, if it's possible.

Have you ever heard of someone changing their Wifi card?

I noticed that you haven't the replacement part but other sites do,

is 40 $ a fair price?

What do you suggest me to do?

best regards.

I have a bad home button also. I have bought one and the circuitry that goes behind it but they have not been delivered yet. I cannot find instructions anywhere on how to replace these parts. All I can find is that this replacement is best left to the professionals. Does this require mirco-soldering or something?

Hello everybody, the speaker on my iPhone 3G 16Gb is broken. I can see on ebay amongst other places that there are lots of outlets for replacement speaker units but none of the pictures of these untis include the green circuit board on the front that you show in your picture guide. How is this circuit board ultimately wired to the replacement unit? Obviously I have to have a method of connecting the ribbon and connector from the motherboard to the new unit. Is it a simple solder? Any help would be appreciated! Many thanks in advance

Hi guys, after asking the same sort of question I came across these very good sites which detail exactly how to replace the loudspeaker unit. The wiring on top of the loudspeaker unit is the dock connector. It needs to be desoldered from the top of your broken loudspeaker (the 2 speaker connections on the left and the 2 microphone connections on the right) and then resoldered onto the replacement unit. Ive just ordered my replacement and should be able to repair my iPhone 3G in about 10minutes once it arrives! Total cost (with tools included) £6.00-saving about £45 for professional repair! I'll let you know how i got on but heres those links...

On the back of the speaker there is a antenna wich is connected tho the motherboard with a conector that is going trow the speaker housing. The connector is an pogopin. When i ordered the speaker this pogopin was not included and ofcourse it broke when i tried to press it out of the old speaker. I´ve looked everywere for somthing to replace it with. Anyone have an ideéa?

You have probably not connected it properly inside. Open it up and reconnect the cables.
