Where can I get info on how to reattach the button holders for the flex cable? There is not one guide on the internet and this is frustrating.

iPhone 3G Headphone Jack Replacement as it says at the bottom of the guide-to replace simply reverse the steps. i have done this repair many times and you need nothing other than the replacement jack. Re read the guide and perhaps it will make more sense- the part you will remove is identical to the one you will replace.

Thnaks for the reply. The button holders are disconnected from teh phone and the cable. I have this part: iPhone 3G/3GS Headphone Jack Assembly Perhaps I should purchase the other one. Now I see what you are talkking about. Hmmmm. My bad.
