lightning port replacement led to dead home button & mic
Hi, my iPhone 5 lightning port contacts were worn away/damaged so I replaced the port assembly.
All looked fine when put back together but the microphone had stopped working.
I thought the replacement port assembly was bad so bought another and installed that - but unfortunately that didn't solve the problem.
Then the home button stopped working too!
During one of the times I was putting the thing back together I think I put one of the connectors on the grounding cable that wraps around the headphone socket on wrong so the display was a tight fit...possible that the home button stopped working around that time, but I can't honestly say for sure.
I have another iPhone 5 so swapped the display/digitiser (which contains the home button) but that didn't fix it (and the original one works fine on the other phone).
Now I'm stuck with a phone that looks fine but with dead microphone and home button...I'd be really grateful for any ideas thanks.
Is this a good question?
