iPhone 2G Repair - Home button replacement (part 1)

[MRmagnatron]

God damn there's only good tutorials on how to fix stuff on an IPHONE but not on I touch

Do you have to solder the microphone? I dont think I see them soldering the mic

This is not a home button replacement/fix this is entire flex cable replacement. My home button is working but not as it should be. Do i have to change the entire flex for that ?

[NacoProject]

@mkoo33 yes, for iphone 2g, the charge center and the home button are in the same flex

I've done this and at least the home button and speaker work correctly. However, iTunes does not recognize the iPhone and it does not charge. However, the iPhone will turn on when I plug it in. I have checked my work and it looks at least ok. The soldering was hard and i may have burnt the chip just below the cable to the speaker (L6). Might this be the problem?

@spacec0w2 i have the same condition, did you get your phone to work?

Any audio would help. Even if it is in French or Flemish/Dutch.
