Answer to: Headphone jack doesn't work and volume buttons dont function?
open the phone and check the connector from the headphone jack assembly - sometimes it's not properly seated. but it could be damaged too i would check the resistors near the connector on the logicboard - had a few phones with broken resistors! (would that check before you order a new assembly) replacing the plastic case is easy if you already stripped almost everything - but as i mentioned earlier - try to get it fixed first and then order parts - they are too expensive - especially when the rest wont work.... -
Answer to: Touchscreen wont respond when I try to unlock phone...?
hi matt, i would use the motherboard guide (click) and check all the connections inside the phone - most likely is a connection poped out of the socket - but it's also possible that the soldering of a chip got damaged - but as i said - check the connections first - good luck -
