Ear speaker won't work after screen replacement.

A few weeks ago I dropped my iPhone and cracked the screen. I ordered the replacement screen from ebay and did the repair myself today. Everything went smoothly except now the ear speaker does not work. Everything else works fine, I just am forced to have speakerphone on during calls.
When I open the phone back up to try to fix it, what should I be looking for? Any ideas what I should do?
Any sort of help would be much appreciated.

my ear speaker wont work now either...but mine is water damage...let me know if u find anything out cause i dont wsant to pay 200 to get a refurbished phone when it would cost me less to just fix the ear speaker

  • Wifi doesn't work after screen replacement

    My husband was gracious enough to replace the screen on my ipad 2. However, now, I can't connect to wifi unless I'm right next to the router.The antenna needs alot of signal to see any network. He verified the antenna isn't broken. Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • Ipad 2 lock button not working after screen replacement

    I replaced the screen of Ipad2. Afterward, the power button is only working when I turn it on or off, but did not work for locking the screen neither with assistive touch. And another issue is when the divece is rebooted, after the apple logo desepears normally we can see the start screen, but in this case the screen stays black after the apple logo desepears untill I pushed the home button. (IOS 7.1.2)
    Please advise, thanks

    If you replaced the screen through a 3rd party or yourself, you have void all warranty and support.
    If it's a 3rd party or Apple, bring it back.

  • Iphone 4 speaker won't work after ios 4.3.2 upgrade

    I upgraded to 4.3.2 yesterday and since then the speaker on my iphone 4 has stopped working completely. Phone will not ring, ipod won't play, no sound on the speaker at all. Can use the phone but no speakerphone or any other sound on the speaker. Please help!!!!!

    The error message I get is "cannot connect using SSL".  I've tried soft re-booting the iPhone.  No joy.

  • Pismo won't boot after screen replacement?

    I just replaced the screen on one of my Pismos with the iFixit guide. Now, when I hit the power button, I get the boot chime and I hear the fan whir, but that's it. No hard drive noises and nothing on the screen. It won't boot off another Pismo in TDM and the iBook doesn't see it if I try to put it in TDM. I've tried reseating the processor and the hard drive. Anyone got any idea what I did wrong? This was my first computer surgery, I really don't want to lose my patient...

    pikacane:
    I've tried reseating the processor
    I suggest trying it again as it is the most frequent cause of the kind of non-startup you describe. With the keyboard and shield removed, remove the RAM module in the upper slot. Lift off the processor card. Replace processor card and press down with thumb(s) on the side toward palm-rest until you feel/hear the card snap into place. Press hard, don't be shy, you won't break it.
    If you are satisfied you have the processor card is properly seated and it still won't startup, please post back and let us know.

  • My iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    my iphone won't work after fatal error occurred installing iOS5.1 have followed allsteps to reconfigure software onto windows still no phone just a usb and itunes picture on screen

    Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
    Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
    Disable your firewall
    Disable your antivirus
    In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
    If it doesn't recognize the phone:
    Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
    Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
    While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
    As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
    If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

  • External speaker won't work

    I have a BlackBerry Curve 8310 and the external speaker won't work. I don't get any notification of calls, texts, etc. I had a new external speaker put in but that didn't fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas of what else could be wrong? My phone is no longer under warranty, so AT&T will not replace my phone.

    The same thing happened to me. Go to Applications and then the Utilities Folder and then open the Audio Midi Setup app. Make sure the default output and system output are set to the built in output. The same symptoms happened to me when I ad reset those options to an aggregate device I created for some simple music production. Setting the above setting back to the defaults made everything better.

  • How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

    How to fix white screen of death on iPod 4g after screen replacement?

    I would try to reset it before anything else.  To do this press and hold the home and power buttons until the the white screen shows the apple logo (~ 15 secs.).
    If this does not work then more than likely the LCD is damaged.
    btw- The white screen is common after repairs.  The reset fix works 90% of the time.

  • External keypad won't work after installing OS 7.

    External keypad won't work after installing OS 7. I have a "Zagg" keyboard that won't pair now to OS 7,...Why?

    They do work. I have one and mine is working. Have you tried to reset your iPad? HOlding down teh sleep and home keys until it reboots then try pairing again.
    A slightly more drastic thing is to go into the settings and reset all settings. THe downside, you will need to retweak your device but it can help fix keyboard glitches.

    printer won't work after installing mountain lion?

    Assuming you've first checked Software Update to see if there are any updated drivers and it's still not working, you could try resetting the printing system.
    System Preferences>Print & Scan, Control+Click or Right Click on a printer on the left and select 'reset printing system'. All printers will be deleted and need to be added again.

  • Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep on OS 10.9.2 update

    Trackpad Gestures stop working after screen sleep after OS 10.9.2 update.  Anybody know why?  Is there a process I can stop or reboot in the Activity monitor to refresh this?  These gestures include launch pad, mission control and full screen swipes.  Annoying.

    Same problem same version. On a MB Air. I have every gesture turned on. When this happens I have same problem on Magic Trackpad and my MB Trackpad. If I quit the app part of the gestures come back but then stop again. The worst is scrolling. This one is a show stopper and always require quit and relaunch.
