Function: The On/Off Flex cable is responsible for transmitting electrical signals from the physical power button (located on the exterior of the device) to the iPhone's internal circuitry. When you press the power button, it triggers actions such as turning the device on, waking it from sleep mode, or putting it to sleep.
Location: The On/Off Flex cable is typically located internally, running from the power button on the device's exterior to the iPhone's mainboard or logic board inside the device.
Flexibility: Flex cables are designed to be flexible to accommodate the pressing action of the power button. They are engineered to withstand repeated use.
Repair and Replacement: If the On/Off Flex cable becomes damaged, worn out, or malfunctions, it can result in issues with turning the device on or off, or it may affect sleep/wake functionality. In such cases, it may be necessary to replace the On/Off Flex cable with a new one to restore proper functionality.
