A few weeks ago I went to replace my iPhone 3G battery with a new one with a supposed 1600mah capacity. I'm not really sure how much more battery life I have with it, but it's definitely better than my 1 year old original. Stupidly in the reconstruction of the phone, I broke the flat connector that allows the speaker and light sensor to work. I ordered a new flat connector online and after receiving it I knew I couldn't handle the job. I searched places to get the phone repaired and found a man named Hector posting on forums that he can fix them for less than the big sites. I sent my phone with prepaid return shipping label to Hector and got it back in less than a week, and that includes a weekend.
The phone arrived back safely and it worked properly again! Hector did a great job fixing my phone and his service is relatively inexpensive. It's a great last resort if you can't repair yourself and he was very honest and straightforward with me.
Here are pictures of the broken connector and his repair tools.
