I just replaced the screen of an otherwise working i5S, and got a crackling/distortion in the earpiece after reassembly. Replaced the earpiece speaker but no change. Discovered that the sound was fine when the screen was "loose", on top of housing, before pressing it inside the frame. So apparently something is being "jammed" when putting it together.. Cant see anything "abnormal", and have tried cleaning all contacts etc... What could possibly cause this i wonder..?
I have just done this replacement, but have some problems now with the charging.
The iPad indicates charging (lightning symbol next to battery icon), but the charge does not "fill up", instead it resides at 0 percent.
When i disconnect the charger after a few hours, it shows 100%, but only lasts a short time before it plummets to 0% again.
Is there something that needs to be done in the settings etc after replacing the battery? Do i need to reset the iPad, or "tell it" that it has a new battery..?
