Hello all. Forgive me if this has been answered before, but I couldn’t find the exact scenario when searching your forum. I replaced my iPhone 6 screen (just the LCD/glass/digitizer and transferred everything else). The screen worked great, but I found my home button wasn’t working. I then switched the button out with the button from another iPhone 6 I also need to fix (different issue). That button didn’t work either I thought I had narrowed it down to the new screen being the issue once I swapped buttons. I then put the original screen and button back on the phone just so I wouldn’t lose the parts while I ordered another replacement screen. I was expecting the home button to work with the old screen now in place, but it still doesn’t work. I now need help figuring out where the issue is. I’ve only replaced a screen a couple times, so I’m no expert, but I’m thinking there’s something wrong with the back plate that I had transferred to the new screen. Maybe one of the cables is busted? I guess my big question is, if I buy a replacement back plate, which I saw isn’t very expensive…will Touch ID work with that aftermarket back plate? If not, I’d like to then continue troubleshooting with the original back plate and figure out if I can fix the problem? Suggestions? Answers? Thanks in advance!
Did you cut/tear the home button cable when you replaced the screen? Also check to make sure the home button is seated properly in the frame. If that doesn’t work go in settings and see if you have the on screen home button turned on, If so turn it off.
