Funny. The problem with my old iPhone was a broken internal switch.

What "switch" was this? You say it's an internal component, and the topic was "moving parts" so you seem to imply that inside your iPhone there was a mechanical physically moving "switch" that was broken. Having seen the insides of many iPhones (I have a friend that repair them), I can assure you that no such switch exists.

he's talking out is ass. there is no 'internal switch'.

Eric Stevens
Switches need not be mechanical devices with moving parts. e.g. a transistor is a switch. There are many other similar devices such as Hall Effect switches. Please don't try to interpret this example as me claiming there are Hall Effect devices in iPhones.

now that's a stretch.

nobody is going to tell a customer 'an internal switch failed' (if that's actually what anyone said, which is highly suspect) when a single *transistor* fails, which nobody would even know in the first place just by looking at it.

any failure gets diagnosed as a logic board failure and that gets replaced as a unit. even if a part were to be replaced, it would be thousands, if not millions of transistors (and other stuff).
