Internal microphone not working after swapping the dock connector.
Hello, I just swapped the dock connector on a friend's iPhone 4 because it wasn't charging/syncing; but now after following iFixit's guide and putting everything together, the internal mic doesn't work. When I make a call the mic is completely muted but when I activate the speakerphone the other person can hear me (because it uses the secondary mic on top of the phone). It doesn't work with voice memos either.
Oddly enough when I remove the back glass of the iPhone and blow or talk into the lower part (from the rear) of the phone near the mic, the other person hears it, but very "far away".
Does it have anything to do with the little rubber piece I had to move from one connector to the other?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
Update
I'm so sorry...I forgot to report back here how it went. My first dock connector came with a DOA microphone and iFixit gladly replaced it for a second one which came with a stripped ribbon cable, so I yet again asked for a replacement and the customer rep that took my case was kind enough to inspect the third unit himself and when it got here it was in perfect working condition.
Sadly these kinds of electronics are very tricky and there's no way of knowing if they work or not until you assemble them on the phone.
But yes, after getting the third one it worked great. The mic sounds loud and clear, the dock connector syncs and charges as it should...everything went great! I hope you can fix yours too!
Questa è una buona domanda?

I have the same problem when I had to change the charging port. Did it work for you after you replaced and put a new charging port again? Let me know so maybe i can order another one.
