Hello i gifted my girlfriend an old att iphone 4, dusted it, updates it, and she used it for all of 2 weeks before it broke, it wont turn on, she took it to a repair shop and the guy there said it was broken because i give her a chinese knock off cable and it broke the plaque of the iphone the black peace under the battery. He said everything alse was fine he wants 60-70 for the repair and piece i don't think is worth it, i seen a peace similar in amazon for 6 dollars and i have changed iphone batteries before!

questions:
What is the black peace under the battery what is it called?
does it sound right what he said about the charger cable? or is he making it up?
should i pay the 60-70 or try myself for that particular piece is it hard to replace?
