There is a screw hole on the very top of the logic board, beside it are 2 contact pads. The one one the back side is for GPS signal.
It is connected to the top frame through a contact washer, the frame itself is the antenna.

thank you,
are you reffering to the screw in the middle of the frame
that holds a bracket that lays under the gps modul?
Sounds like it.
thank you very much, hope I can rebuild it well :)
You can send a photo?
I still have doubts.
I'm having a similar issue. I replaced my battery and the cable that connects the sleep button, silent switch, volume buttons etc but now my GPS doesn't work. I have ensured that the contact washer at the top of the phone is positioned correctly and is fastened down securely. The compass app works fine but Sat Nav is useless. I have an app called GPS Status that shows it has a poor fix and accuracy of 65m. The only other damage to the phone is on the motherboard. On the far right side of the motherboard where the camera and 4 other ribbon connectors are the ring where a double three screw fits is broken
