Cable includes the front camera, secondary microphone, ambient light and proximity sensors.
This is actually 2 parts that are soldered together. Don't try to buy them separate from another site as they need to be soldered together with special equipment.
If you are having problems with noise canceling this may be the culprit.
Please Note: A new cable may have some extra pieces from the manufacturing process that can be cut off using scissors.
Starting under the earpiece speaker contacts, use a plastic opening tool or the tip of a spudger to pry the front facing camera cable out of the display assembly.
Caution: Removing the earpiece speaker contacts can cause them to tear. Use extreme caution when peeling the contacts up.
Remove the front-facing camera and rear microphone assembly.
If you are installing a new part, your new part may have two tabs with holes in it used for manufacturing purposes. These tabs can be cut off with scissors.
There is a small, square plastic and metal holder for the proximity sensor. This holder is essential for the proximity sensor to function correctly.
If replacing the proximity sensor or camera make sure that the holder remains adhered to the back of the display. If it comes off with the old proximity sensor, remove it from the old sensor and use a tiny bit of adhesive to re-attach it to the back of the display.
