I completed the repair by replacing the lightning connector assembly. My phone turns on and allows me to send messages and seems to work fine. However, when the phone is plugged in. it will not charge. Upon further experimentation I noticed that the phone no longer vibrates or is able to make any noise. My theory is that the push connector that came on the new port assembly is not properly connected. I was having issues getting it to pop into the port, but I thought I had done it correctly. Anyone have any other ideas?
Did you make sure not to damage the flex cables? Sometimes the charge port can be damaged. You can check the layout here: https://greensboroiphonerepair.com/iphon…
