I tried to fix a broken ringer switch along time ago, felt it just needed cleaning. Took off screen, unclipped connector. Cleaned out switch.

Then I tried to hook connector back, couldn't get it connected back. Panicked. Felt I basically broke it, and needed to buy a new phone. Left it for a day, didn't sleep at night, with a sick feeling since I wasn't ready to buy a new phone at the time. Thought about buying the previous model used.

But then the next day, I figured since it was broke to me, I'd just try really hard to push it back on. Eventually with enough force I thought I'd break everything on it, nearly all my weight, I felt the click of the connector snapping on.

Phone turned on. Switch still didn't work. Gave up fixing my phone after that.
