Proximity sensor not working after iPhone 6 screen swap.
Hello my Ifixit Friends.
Changing the screen on a customers Iphone 6 and I can't seem to get the proximity sensor working. I've taken it apart 8-10x now, ensure that the plastic "holders" for everything is positioned correctly and that the proximity sensor is dust free. It just doesn't work..
Front camera works, the light sensor works. (Auto adjusting brightness) everything except turning the screen off during calls...
Any tips? :)
P.S: All componets appear to be fully functional and I have no other screens / parts to test with currently.
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I used to have issues all the time, Then i changed up how i pull the Proximity Sensor out, and have done 100's over the last 3 months with out a single one not working, and no i didn't need tape or heat. The way i do it, is to take your tweezers, and place it right between the two cubbies that divide the proximity sensor and the other sensor up. and gently lift it out of that cubby. After that is free i take my pry tool and slide it under the speaker microphone. If it doesn't slide under it easily, i stick the pry tool under the rubber housing, and remove the whole rubber housing that the speaker microphone is stuck down to. I have bent them kind of good some times trying to get it out and have cause no damage. I believe its just all in the technique you use to pull the prox. sensor out of its cubby its stuck down in, and i also transfer the little plastic frame that holds it in place. Hope this helps everyone out.

jou definitely have stucked the camera flex cable under the metal heatshield on the backside of the panel, i know it seems like it should get there, but it should sit right on top of the shield
