Chosen Solution
I recently replaced the battery and had poor luck with the sticky tabs and had to do a fair amount of prying to get the battery out and must’ve done damage. Current situation: Headphone jack worksBluetooth sound worksNo loudspeaker Have tried: All volume controlsPower cyclingI replaced the loudspeaker with a new one, but that apparently was not the issue, must be something upstream Possibly unrelated, but I also have gotten error messages upon startup saying that the TouchID could not function on my phone. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated.
Was the motherboard inside the phone while prying? Tried a new charging port flex? I don’t work on SE too often but unless I’m mistaken the loudspeaker sits on the charging port flex and operates through that. Which in turn connects to the motherboard instead of having separate flex for speaker and charing port. Could of caused motherboard damaged (very bad) or could of damaged the flex enough to hurt the loudspeaker function but not enough to damage the headphone function.
