Description
The proximity sensor is a small flexible flex cable that detects when your face is close during a call. On KEY2, it switches off the screen when the phone is held to the ear, to avoid accidental touches and limit battery consumption. When it no longer responds, the screen may stay black during a call, fail to switch back on, or stay lit while the phone is against your face. These symptoms often appear after a fall or a previous opening.
This flex cable is a compatible part, made by a third party. It allows you to replace the faulty part at a lower cost, without aiming for an exact copy of the original. Before fitting, switch off the device, disconnect the battery before handling the flex cables and work on a clean surface, away from static electricity. Once the flex cable is back in place, check that the sensor works during a test call, then check the display and touchscreen operation.
Tips
- Disconnect the battery before touching the flex cables
- Avoid static electricity: work on a clean surface
- Never force the connectors into place
- Test the sensor during a call after reassembly
- Handle the flex cables with care, they tear easily
Fitting
Fitting guide: work with the device switched off, disconnect the battery before touching any flex cable, keep the screws in order and test the part before closing up. A question before ordering? Write to us.
