Guten Tag,

Ich habe meinem Battery ausgetauscht, nach dem Austausch das Volume Taste und sim slat 2 funktioniert nicht mehr.

Prüfe, ob die Kontakte der Lautstärkeknöpfe und das Flachbandkabel noch in Ordnung sind (nicht verschmutzt oder verbogen). Das mit dem Sim Slot klingt schon etwas seltsam. Das Modell in dieser Anleitung hat nur einen Sim Slot und einen micro-SD Slot.

Hi in step 7 you can see a black thin plastic over the battery. Is it the NFC antenna?
