Product Details

    The Flashlight / Proximity Sensor Flex Cable replacement for the Samsung Galaxy A5 (A520, 2017) and A7 (A720, 2017) models is designed to replace a damaged or malfunctioning flex cable that connects the proximity sensor and flashlight (LED) to the motherboard.

    Key Features:

    • Proximity Sensor: The proximity sensor is responsible for detecting the presence of objects near the phone (like when you hold the phone near your face during a call). This sensor helps to turn off the display during calls to prevent accidental touches.
    • Flashlight / LED: The flashlight component, often integrated with the front-facing camera or the top of the phone, is responsible for providing illumination during low-light situations, such as for selfies or as a flashlight.
    • Flex Cable: The flex cable connects these components to the motherboard, ensuring that both the proximity sensor and the flashlight function properly.
    • OEM or High-Quality Aftermarket: It's essential to choose an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) or high-quality aftermarket replacement for reliable performance.

    Installation Considerations:

    • Tools Needed: You will need a precision screwdriver set, pry tools, and possibly a suction cup tool to carefully open the phone and access the flex cable.
    • Delicate Flex Cable: The flex cable is sensitive and must be handled with care to avoid damaging it during installation. Be sure to connect the cable securely to the motherboard.
    • No Soldering Required: The flex cable typically connects to the motherboard via a ribbon connector, so no soldering is required.
    • Testing: After installation, you should test both the proximity sensor (by making a call and checking if the screen turns off when you hold the phone close to your face) and the flashlight (by using the camera flash or turning on the flashlight via the quick settings) to ensure they are working correctly.

    Reassembly:

    After replacing the flex cable, carefully reassemble the phone and test the functionality of the proximity sensor and flashlight before fully sealing the device.

    If you're not experienced with phone repairs, consider seeking professional help to avoid damage to the flex cable or other components during installation.
