The dedicated camera key on the side of your Sony Xperia Z1 Compact is what lets you wake the camera and snap a photo without unlocking the screen. When that key stops responding, the camera is harder to reach fast. This flex cable carries the signal from that button to the board, so swapping it out gets the shutter working again.
What this camera button flex cable does in the Xperia Z1 Compact D5503
This part is made for the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact, model D5503. It is a replacement camera button flex cable, so it fixes a button that feels dead, sticks, or does nothing when pressed. The cable is brand new and sits in the same spot as the original, so you are not changing how the phone works, only restoring the key.

- Camera button flex cable, one piece
Check the model number on the back of your phone or in the settings before you order. The D5503 is the Compact version, so this cable will not fit the standard Xperia Z1.
Because the cable is a thin ribbon that runs under the internal parts, take care to line up the connector squarely when you reconnect it. A flex that sits slightly off can keep the camera key from working even when the new cable is in.
