iPhone 5 compass does not calibrate or move.
I changed the screen a couple months ago, I replaced the non magnetic screw with a normal magnetic screw. I just noticed that the compass doesn't work at all. It's just frozen in one spot when trying to calibrate.
I didn't realize it for a few months, so I just removed the magnetized screw. Compass still does not work.
I've reset the phone and erased data etc. Still nothing.
Can I replace the compass? Any way to fix this?
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I just figured this out. I removed the screw (top right) that holds down the shield that covers the flex cables to the lcd screen, I also removed the screw that is under it in the same location (it's the screw that has a screw hole in it).
After removing these screws everything works. I put 1 screw back (larger screw that has a second screw hole inside it) and it stopped working again. So I left the screw out and it works again fine. I am pretty sure that this screw has become magnetized by putting the other magnetized screw into it.
