Can someone post a DIY video on replacing powerbutton / flex cable?
As the title states, can someone put a DIY video on how to replace the power button / flex cable?
My power button sunk in today, I researched around and I think it has to do with those two things. I'm not iPhone techy and I was wondering if anyone can put a very descriptive video on how to replace those parts step by step. I really appreciate this. I don't want to break my phone as I have no other alternatives.

a video tutorial would be messy anyways, lots of small things your dealing with.
Just make sure you pay attention while taking it out, that you put it back the same way....
Powerbutton/proximity flex is much easier to change than volume/vibrate switch flex...
The earpiece speaker needs to be removed to get at it, but can be put back as long as you dont mess up the gasket too much...

There is a fix if you have an old phone laying around. check out the video by "mvn" rocks and saves you a C-note too!
there is a (very) small black "nipple" on the top of the orange switch. if it is gone, no joy!unklbyl

Asides from my guide, these guys do a great job showing a professional install as well. I thought this might be more relevant since he is contemplating purchasing a replacement part.
