Replace volume buttons or headphone jack & volume control cables?

My up volume button no longer depresses. It does work if I press firmly at a certain angle. When working normally, is the clicking, felt and heard, from the button or from the cable? I am guessing it is the button that broke since contact can be made if really trying, but wanted to make sure.

Thanks!!!

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Its not the metal button problem.

Problem is on the cable. There is a small black plastic dot on the yellow cap of connector. Its broken.

You can replace the whole cable. Or very small square piece of paper can be glued on top of yellow cap (center of circle).

Good luck ...

Some times it can be the plastic shin gets broken off but in not sure if the volumes button flex has these.. Take the 3 screws out and look at the accual button on the back of it the are 2 spacers for making contact with the flex make sure 1 of them hasent moved in place or fallen off
