Power Button fastening screw holes stripped - GSM-Forum

tomservo · 02-05-2016, 03:33

I recently got my brothers old Iphone 4 that he had push the power button really hard to make work.

I got a replacement power button and in the process of putting it into the phone found that one of the two screw holes holding the power button housing was stripped (not the screws they were fine).

Any suggestions on what to do about this?

I was thinking I might glue it.

Hi thanks for the advice.
I ordered a middle frame, but noticed when I got it says it is only for GSM iPhone 4, I have a Verizon CDMA phone. I can't seem to find Iphone 4 CDMA middle frames are they the same as Iphone 4s middle frames, a few sellers seem to think so?

iPhone 4 and 4S midframes are not the same, please check
I'm sure you can easily order a middle frame for iPhone 4 CDMA from Chinese sellers, from AliEpress, for example.
