replaced digitizer

I recently replaced my digitizer on my inspire 4g with great success :laugh:, but now my volume button is broken and i have no Wifi :crying: . I am going to go back in and check the connectors, i just wanted to see if my fellow xda users had any similar problems. how much is a new volume flex cable and where is the wifi connector? I have heard that the wifi antenna is the battery door but what about the connector? also when i removed the black square tape covering my mother board there was a bronze metallic sticker underneath that NO One warned me about hence my now broken volume cable, what the heck is it?

hi when you open the phone you must take the volume flex first because if you dont you break other pieces you dont see now you must put a little piece of flex between the the bottons and the flex and try to press to if works then you put the sticker again so the plastic will not fall that happend to me and thats how i resolve the issue... and the wifi check the antenna to see if is disconected i have open a few phones but never had that happend
OK it took me forever but I finally replaced my volume flex cable and now everything is working except the volume down button! Upon further inspection I noticed "electric conducting paint"(similar to the paint on the battery door,simcard and GPS covers) on the interior of the volume button at the top and bottom. on the bottom where the down button touches the flex cable this "paint" has faded thus no volume down. Can I buy this type of paint? I tried a piece of foil but its to tedious to install.

[Q] Sensation power unit

Hello
When trying to replace front camera on my phone I broke the power flex cable.
After trying to solve this I found that if I short the battery "-" to the broken flex cable the phone starts.
Does anyone knows where does the power unit stands so that I can weld the power button directly to the right pin bypassing the flex cable??
Thank you!!!

Hi, I have been looking around at spare parts but I cannot find a flexy power cable. Can you post a pic, and does it happen to have a parts number on it?

The button that you see apart should be fixed to the flex cable next to it

Mushy Power Button

I just recently purchased a google pixel for work purposes and the power button works just fine but is a little mushy. I know that you can replace the ribbon cable, but what would cause the button to be mushy is the silicone holding the power button or the actual ribbon cable?
I figured it out. It ended up being a the flex cable. Replaced it and no more mushy button

Power/ Back button replacement

Has anyone replaced the flex cable for the two buttons? I'm just wondering if anyone was successful, and how difficult it is. I have my watch taken apart down to just the motherboard, but I'm not sure how that cable attaches to it.
Thanks
The ribbon cable is soldered on.
I have been told it is not a very difficult job.
I have the broken power button issue but I am hesitant in replacing the cable as I don't trust my soldering skills.
Perhaps I will replace the whole motherboard.
Have you had any luck with this issue? What did you do- replace the motherboard?
