iPhone 4S Power and Sensor Cable Replacement

Difficult

My Problem

Broken iPhone4 with a bad power switch, thought I'd replace the ribbon cable and I'd be in the money!

My Fix

Followed directions, cable out - cable in, everything goes back together, easy peasy. Switch clicks like it's supposed to, but no screen. Plug it in, it powers up but no screen, tried resetting it Power and Home buttons, no joy. Restored to factory defaults with iTunes, still no Joy.

My Advice

None really, it was however easy to do, the hard part is making sure you replace the screws correctly, the video helped a lot with that, even though I had compartmentalized all the things I took out, some screws have a tapered head where the opposites screw didn't, I also got a free screw out of it.
