Received a phone from a member today (names to be left unmentioned) that someone had tried to swap housing on, unfortunately it didnt work out so well.
1. Bezel was peeling off housing and not mounted properly.
-Remounted and sticky-icky-icky'd
2. Camera was no longer working.
-Ribbon cable was loose and damaged, repair and attached.
3. Vibrate switch not working + vibrate motor not mounted properly.
-Pulled motor...had to cut housing internally slightly...installed. The switch was not working cause the cable was actually damaged...pulled slightly, repaired....works just real sensitive.
4. Home button not working.
-Not good. There are 2 tiny "prongs" that make contact from the screen assembly to the dock assembly when the phone is closed, this connects the home button for it to work. Problem is...those 2 prongs had been broken off
So I had to "rig" the ribbon cable by pulling it off the screen frame backside and remounting it (making a mount) to adjust for the difference where the prongs should be. Now it works
Sad to Happy.
