Hello. I had this happen recently. When I looked under the microscope, I found that I had broke off a resistor near the connection for the proximity/front cam/earpiece flex cable. If you're soldering skills are good, you can repair it by resoldering the resistor (if it's still there) or bridging the points on the circuit board where the resistor was.

"i had the same problem but i found a way to fix mine. i took the speaker out and realized that one of the copper springs wasnt straight and it was bent to the side, and wasnt connected. so i straighten it out and made sure it was connected, i put everything back and it worked perfect.

if u look at the picture the one is his hand is the earpiece speakers, and to the left of it is two copper recievers? i believe is wat its called. they need to be fully connected for the sound to work

I hope I was of help."

Had the same problem, and found that since the ribbon cable is completely seperate from the screen I just took my whole ribbon and speaker off my broken screen and put it on my new screen, took about ten minutes and as long as your speaker still works on your broken screen it's pretty much a guaranteed fix. Goodluck.

"Hi,

I recently had a drop of oil fall onto the ear speaker of my iphone 6. Subsequently the sound through the ear speaker was quiet and scratchy. Most annoyingly, my microphone stopped working with Skype (Which i use all the type to speak with me daughter who lives in another country). I thought it would be best to removed the ear speaker and give it a clean then reinstall it.

I followed the ifixit guide for this process to the letter. However, upon putting everything back togther, the ear speaker was completely silent (not even the quiet scratchy sound) and now the front camera has stopped working. I have checked all connections but to no avail. I have however identified a small rubber piece that I have no idea where it came from and so i'm not sure where it should go.... Would anyone be able to tell me where this piece should go? I think it must be somewhere around the ear speaker..."
