Chosen Solution
Recently bought a phone from person at my school for $50- Fixed screen and volume buttons but can’t for the life of me figure out how to fix the mute button that sits above the volume buttons. It just kind of sticks up or down and never really clicks, and it doesn’t actually work, doesn’t mute the ringer. Do I need to buy a new flex cable / button? I’ve already tried opening it all up and blowing compressed air at it to clean out any dirt / grime, and took it all off and put it back on. I have a video of the ringer / mute button here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xoaenu3a…
That might be the reason why the buttons were unscrewed in the first place, somebody before you tried to check if it could be fixed and eventually gave up..you’ll need a replacement flat cable such as this one [linked product missing or disabled: IF268-058-1]
