What exactly is broken in my power button?
Hello, my power button does not work and I am trying to find out what exactly is broken.
Correct me if I am wrong, but the power button is composed of the actual button, a plastic housing, and the headphone jack assembly. Since it is very obvious if the actual button broke, I'm going to assume either the housing or the assembly is broken.
I looked around for other people's problems to provide insight.
- In this case:(iPhone sleep/lock button doesn't work)
The person's button only worked when pressed hard and needed a replacement of the headphone assembly.
- In my case:
The power button has good tactile feedback when pressed, but the phone does not register the click.
I do plan on taking the 3GS apart soon, but I want a general idea of what to look for / purchase before I take it apart.
If anyone can help me a little, it would be much appreciated!
Es esta una buena pregunta?

I took apart the phone and replaced the headphone assembly. The button itself didn't have any obvious defects so I'm going to assume the problem was electronic.
The iFixIt gudies were very informative taking the phone apart, but "follow the instructions in reverse" isnt helping me very much. I have no clue how to put the buttons (mute / volume / power) back where they belong and rewire the headphone assembly.
Help would be greatly appreciated!
