My iPhone 5c got a violent shock that broke the screen. I replaced the screen which brought it back to life but the home button wasn’t working anymore. Meanwhile the lighting connector stopped working after cleaning the connector with a metal piece… So I replaced the lighting connector assembly and I could recharge it again. Home button still not working. Noticed that the bottom microphone wasn’t working to, had to put the calls on speaker in order to be hearable (makes the phone use the second microphone I guess). Speakers work well. So I decided to try a home button ribbon cable replacement but the home button did still not respond. Tried the home button spring contact cable trick with a screwdriver which didn’t react so I realized the spring contact wasn’t working and replaced the lighting connector again which includes the microphone. After replacing it for the second time both the microphone and the home button or home button spring contact do still not work ! So where would the problem be ?
I mean, it’s a bit peculiar, I honestly gotta wonder where you’re getting your parts from. Cause if it’s not the Lightning dock. Then it would be major chip damage issues on the logic board, and I’ve honestly never seen anything like that happening
