Chosen Solution
Hello everyone, I would like to know which are the “golden rules” for not damaging the front cam flex. I am having some problems as follows: Once I replace the broken screen, and fix the front cam, I often damage the cable; no sound on ear piece or proximity sensor not working. For the proximity I just re-seat the sensor and it works perfectly. But for what concerns the sound, the only solution is to change the whole flex. The reason is that (I think) I somehow damage the copper contacts (which are covered by the bi-adhesive). I have been trying all the solutions:
- heating (and no heating). In some cases the bi-adhesive remains on the flex, but some other times it remains on the screen. I always replace or recover the bi-adhesive and re-seat it as it should be.
- use of a spudger - iSesamo - iOpener - and lots more…..but with no success….. Thank you in advance for all your replies!!!!
i use a heat gun on the front of the screen in the location of the flex. i then use an Xacto blade to lift the flex from the plastic bracket. I have not had a sensor flex fail on me since my first 7Plus after i adapted to this procedure.
