Internal ear speaker not working after screen replacement

Internal ear speaker not working after screen replacement

I have replaced the screen on an iPhone 7plus now the internal speaker doesn't work. So I replaced the proximity cable and the speaker. Still no sound replaced the screen again. But nothing. Everything else works the proximity the selfie camera all work. Any suggestions? This it about the 30th 7 or 7 plus I have done. I have not had any other problems before this. It worked before I replaced screen. I even tried the old screen and Proximity ando speaker did not work.

I know this is frustrating I have this problem now and I've had this problem before with the Home Button basically I replace the screen in the Home Button function would not work at all it would only let me go to the home screen or pop it up halfway on the homepage no matter what Home Button and I replaced it with screen it did not matter the home button function was not working again and I heard that has to be reprogrammed through Apple in order for it to work

"I came across this same problem after replacing a screen on 7+

I tried and checked everything! screen, button, speaker and plugin earphones worked ok

only the phone ear piece didn't.

as crazy as it sounds this is how I finally got it to work...

1. go to settings, General, accessibility2. Under ""Hearing"" turn ""Phone noise cancellation OFF and ""Hearing aid compatibility"" ON3. played a memo message and ear speaker WORKED!!!4. switched the setting on step 3, back to default. phone still works!

I don't know why this worked but it did.

this was driving me insane! I've done lots of repairs

never had a problem like this.

hope this helps someone"

"Hey John

Sounds to me like your problem is related to the hardware not communicating with each other. When doing repairs you should always disconnect the battery and then drain the remaining charge by holding the power button for 8-10 seconds. After you do this you can change your parts without the Logic Board storing previous hardware information.

The Logic Board needs to reset on hardware changes, especially the new iPhone models since they have new chips and circuits. Your problem may be as simple as the Logic Board not recognizing your replaced parts correctly."
