Question

IPhone 5 Technical Problem...HELP!?

Oct 21, 2014 9:03AM PDT

Hi, I'm hoping someone on here may be able to help me...

Today I replaced the lock/volume flex cable on an iPhone 5. All is working perfectly except it won't vibrate and ring. It's like it is on silent, but isn't.

Any ideas what the problem could be? I've not had this problem before.

Many thanks.

Charlie

If its just the regular iPhone 5 I found a tutorial video you can check to see if you did it right. Not dissing your skills I just know I wouldn't really trust myself to take apart and repair my phone.
