Had a broken screen replacement done recently by a 3rd party about a month or so ago and now the home button works intermittently. I have to click it a bunch of times before it registers. The home button itself clicks fine and is very responsive so I don’t see a problem there. I took the phone apart and carefully removed the home button, ensured everything was clean. The cable looks fine, as does everything else. I reseated it, ensured it was in tight, ensured the screws were in tight and put everything back together. Still no change. Close up of the button while disconnected:
Any ideas what to check next? Update (05/21/2018) I took the back off. I wonder if this could be the issue (small kink in cable)?
Update (05/22/2018) Replaced the back plate with a brand new one, was careful to ensure the flex cables were fine. Home button still doesn’t work, at least works if I press real hard about 3-4 times then it registers. Any other thoughts on what to do next?
Check the home button flex that plugs into the motherboard that could be loose or something. If that doesn’t change the issue I recommend getting the back LCD plate replaced. That could be the issue. Normally, I see this problem on iPhone 6s because the home button flex is within the display unit. Let me know if this fixes the problem!
I have the same problem. How have you fix it? thkx
