Hi, after replacing the home button I have a small piece of rolled up cloth left over. see both links https://www.dropbox.com/s/3zs45ivhcixc9k… https://www.dropbox.com/s/c8hmf6sbept84h… Is it essential? and how and where do i put it back? In the tutorials I can see it positioned between the outer shell and the dock connector cable, but nowhere is mentioned that it can come loose, or how to put it back or how to attach it secondly; is it possible that because of that missing part my screen is litting up dim.
It’s a grounding cushion. Not a critical part but for the sake of perfect repair, you may want to put it back.
i have never seen this part before i dont think its needed. check you brightness isnt on the low setting. if not then you have blown the backlight
