iPhone 6 - Power button not working (only) - GSM-Forum

Hi!
So I’m trying so solve this since it's a great headache.

I've got an iPhone 6 that has a broken power button, at least it's not responding.
However, all the other parts works, Volume button, flash, mic.

So i changed the power button flex cable, and still the power button is not responding. I've also changed the actual pw button (metal plate). And with a new cable I thought I would have had some success. What's really confusing is that the volume button is working on this new cable as well as the old.
It led me to believe that it's not the cable itself but something else?
Or am I wrong?
All ideas are welcome! Also if someone knows any circuits I should investigate closer?

Check FPC connector and also FL0709 + DZ0810 in the back side

Just wanted to leave some feedback on the problem. I solved it by slightly unscrew the screws retaining the metal bracket for the Power button, not much, only a little.
Thanks for reply anyway!

So the issue should be in the FPC connector on the board or in the flex cable, some pin is loose, broke solder and fortunately changing the pressure get the contact
