Hey guys! I have a problem with my iPhone 7. Its battery wa damage during charging. It gives me low battery timing. So, I replaced my battery. After that my iPhone’s home button does not working and show the pop up “ Touch id loads to fail on this iPhone” What can I do? Before battery replacement my iPhone wa properly working.
Yes the flex cable or one of the connectors in that area to the screen is being pinched down to hard by the metal cover above it. Loosen the 4/5 screws depending on your model that covers the cables and you should be fine.
If phone is opened by someone other than apple the home button doesn’t work ! If anyone knows how to reset it please let me know ! Rdsvideo3@yahoo.com
If you dont make a move or doesnt move the home button while installing the battery maybe the problem is you didnt put the lcd well to the housing :)
The metal cover above the lcd cable is too tight. Loosen it and then you should be okay.
If you have a screen available, try it out in a new screen. The ribbon that runs from your button to the board is part of the screen (unfortunately). That ribbon being damaged would actually be the cheapest fix, so hopefully that helps. Replacing the button or the board would be expensive.
Hi, I took my 6S Plus in to a third party repair shop for loud speaker replacement; after repair, my home button started having problems, it was seldom working; i took it back to the shop, they replaced the home button, telling me that I will no longer have touch id; when asked what happened to the home button in the first place, they said it’s common that the home button starts having problems. i’m having a lot of trouble accepting this shady information. the button was working perfectly fine; i take it in for repair, unrelated to the home button, and now my home button seldom works. this is an old phone that has been handed down to the kids, so not having touch id is fine, but still, this is some shady info and practice. i have taken my phones in to third party repair shops a few times and they’ve ALL been bad experiences. I don’t know if the Apple store does these kinds of repairs but I will be going straight there next time I need something repaired.
