Chosen Solution
I followed the guide for replacing the battery on the 4s. However, after I had the battery successfully in my hand I noticed a small gold part loose in the bottom of the battery tray. I have looked in all the guides I can find but I do not see it mentioned and I do not see it in photos. I was not rough when taking out the battery and I am pretty sure I did not break anything but I can not see where the piece goes. Any ideas? The piece is gold on one side, black on the other. There is a hole through it, so I assume that one of the battery contact screws goes through there. There is also a small sprung contact arm coming off the back.
Does it look like this? It is most likely the piece held down by the screw highlighted in orange in step 4 of the 4S Display Assembly guide.
Shelly, it says Error 404
I had this problem as well, and wasn’t able to re-install it. I went forward without it, and the phone seems to work fine, but I no longer have a signal strength indicator. It just says “searching” all the time, but works fine otherwise.
