iPhone 5 earpiece sometimes not working

[Firestrike]

Hi everyone

I just got an iPhone 5 from a friend. It was in its original box and all that, he got it replace right before switching to a new phone. It's almost new, I know that for sure.

But there's a problem, the ear speaker, the thing over the screen, does work only if I press hard enought between it and the screen, and it only works for a short period.

So do I have to go to an Apple Store/Genius Bar or is this a bad idea ?

Your best option is to go to the Apple Store, since this is just a forum. (No offense)

I mean the Apple Store is a good bet. If they cant or refuse to fix, maybe a repair shop that is local. I know here in the US, you can throw a stone and it like 50 repair shops whom claim to fix Iphones.
