Hey! A couple of days ago, I repaired an iPhone 5 Lightning connector assembly with a replacement from your store (https://eustore.ifixit.com/en/Parts/iPho...). After putting the SIM card in and rebooting the phone, cell coverage was showing only 1/5 on 3G and no 4G reception at all. After noticing the bad coverage, I have tried the following things:
- Resetting network settings (Settings -> General…)
- Reattaching the antenna cable
- Reattaching the Lightning assembly ribbon cable
- Unscrewing and screwing all the screws involved in the repair process To confirm, all of the extra components from the old assembly were transferred to the replacement part. I believe this is a hardware fault rather than a software fault. Should I try factory resetting the phone, or straight up contacting iFixit Customer Support?
@kopo942 you just found by yourself the answer, you got a defective charging port assembly . Contact customer support and have them send another one and hope for the best, it happens to get defective ones from time to time.
