headphones always plugged in when theyre not?

**Mrdabbas** · 06-25-2012, 12:21 PM

After I changed the LCD on my iPhone 4, no sound came from the speaker.. It turns outthat the phone thinks there's a headphone plugged into its jack..but there isn't any thing plugged in..I take the back of and play around with the jack till it works again..but then a couple of days later same
problem. What's wrong with IPhones why does this happen when you change the LCD..its very common!..any help would be brilliant, thanks.

I had this problem before and got a can of air and blew it in the port. Worked after that. Won't hurt to try that out.

If that doesn't work just restore

**2k1** · 06-25-2012, 04:08 PM

Just make sure the can is full and no water in it spray it first to make sure

I move the headphone port around with a needle and it works for a while..what's a permanent fix? Change the part? What part

It's would be the audio flex ribbon. So the ribbon that controls the headphone jack and volume controls.
Sorta tricky to do if you have no experience

Sort of? Even with experience I HATE that cable lol. Took me several before I started getting good at them.

Same just got good at them on the 4S recently I try never to do them but sometimes you just half too.

I think they're the worst on the CDMA.

I Would rather break down a iPhone 4 gsm any day. Then mess with the CDMA counterpart. More screws,the flexes are just irritating to say the least. I just recently did a mid frame swap....NO BUENO. Needless to say the labor I charged for the repair didn't feel like enough lol

**iRevival** · 06-27-2012, 11:26 PM

haha. I feel that I don't charge enough for labor for any repair on a CDMA iphone aside from the color swaps/screen repairs.

**Cowboy** · 06-27-2012, 11:27 PM

Lol they aren't that bad I can still do a full color swap in under 25 mins on them.

**iRevival** · 06-27-2012, 11:29 PM

youre about 5 minutes faster than me. gonna have to step my game up lol.

**delutedsoul** · 06-27-2012, 11:37 PM

I'm happy with 30 minutes on a color swap on CDMA! I tip my hat to you cowboy
