Hi. The 'volume button and contact switch' has come apart. This is the small square brown contact item with 2 round silver contacts.

As this is in 4 separate parts, I assume it isn't repairable. The 'power button' is OK. I think the home button mounting bracket is also OK.

There appears to be a replacement contact part for about £2/$4, but I can't solder this replacement part.

What is the next best part to buy? There is a 'Proximity light sensor on/off power button flex cable' which looks OK.

Thank you for your help!

Hi Paul

You can buy volume button with silent switch that are already with the silver brackets and just replace the whole part.

Hope this help
