This is an awesome guide! Cheers Sam. I have never done any electrical fixes before so I was a phone fixing virgin. I bought both the tools and the speaker for £5.80 on ebay, followed your guide carefully and had no problems. It was an easy process. Thanks to the confidence I had in your guide I didn’t have to go and buy a new phone so you saved me the £180 I thought I was going to have to spend!
Cheers, Nick (UK)
