How important is front panel assembly CABLE BRACKET?

Hi everyone.

A few months back, I had my IPhone 6 screen replaced and had to have the replacement screen replaced a week later because of a burn-in issue. After the second replacement I had immediate problems with my microphones not working. Siri can't hear me and my speakerphone doesn't work...

Last week I shattered my screen... again. Took it to new repair guy and when I went to pick it up he asked me if they'd been the one to do the first repair, cuz he was very unhappy to find my cover bracket and 5 screws were missing once he opened up my phone.

So now my question is how important that cover bracket is??! Siri and speakerphone still not working. Could it be the missing metal bracket is responsible or plays a role?

Thanks in advance.

Siri microphone & the earpiece speaker is all part of that top flex cable. Not sure which metal bracket you are referring to but if you're talking about the large one that sits behind the LCD, that missing would have nothing to do with the Siri mic & earpiece speaker not working. Sounds like you need to have that top flex cable replaced. The place you took it to the last time should of offered to replace that for you. I would suggest finding a good reputable service center in your area to take the phone to.

Thanks, TechyGirl. I'm talking about the metal cover plate that you need to remove to access the flex cable connections.

Anyway, I knew it was a longshot. Just thought I'd ask.

The new repair guy comes well recommended and did offer to replace the flex cable you mentioned. I'm a bit limited in where I can take the phone to, living in a small Canadian town. I usually tackle these repairs myself, and planned to with the flex cable until I shattered my phone... again, and needed a new screen ASAP. The discovery of the missing plate and screws was news to me. Just thought I'd investigate further.

Thanks again for the help. I love this forum.

Hi seriously I am glad to have came across this forum. I personally am having serious issues with the display on my phone with it charging in the apple symbol popping up on the screen but no action further than that with it going back to Blank black screen to Apple again for a few seconds and then after it does that a few times once again back in charging mode I don’t understand could this be the missing bracket because my phone is missing that bracket in the five screws and was working fine before that minus the shattered screen.?

I know this is an old thread but can I please ask if loss of that four point metal bracket connecting the battery to the screen is what causes an iPhone reboot/restart loop.

That bracket is keeping the conectors in place pressuring them to their socket. I just made the same mistake myself, not adding this bracket. Even though my phone works very well, i expect the conection cables to jump out of their socket as soon as i drop my phone, or even less strain appears to it.

The Bracket is not required for the operations of the phone. It is only there to protect the connections and keep them in the socket. If you decide to not have the bracket then the phone will still work, but there is a higher change of a disconnection. So, put the phone in a case.
