iPhone earpiece receiver zapping when taking a call

Hi guys

Recently i have come across a very strange issue. I have had someone bring me an iPhone that zaps them when they take a phone call. Now the first thing i can think of is that it is either a static discharge or a battery problem however i'm not really sure what part to replace? The earpiece receiver, battery, logic board or the entire phone itself ?

For the mean time i have given this person the apple technical support number, and although the iPhone is out of warranty, if it is zapping a customer i think they should replace it free of charge....surely.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Id replace the front screen assembly to rule out anything on that end first. Well, not replace but test it with a different one. The ear speaker is easy and cheap enough to replace, that can be done in a few minutes. Is the problem easily replicated? I'd highly doubt Apple would swap it if it is out of warranty, if only though right? haha.
