Chosen Solution
Today after waking up I realised that my home button has stopped randomly working. After a hard reset it started to work again, but after a few minutes stopped again. It sometimes starts to work after a hard reset and sometimes doesn’t work at all. Both the home button and touch ID aren’t responding. I’ve tried resetting it with a stock app too but with no luck. I haven’t tried a factory reset yet. Another thing to point out is that I have changed the screen but I did it almost two months ago and it worked flawlessly until this point. Any ideas on how to fix it? Is the problem in the hardware or just a software glitch?
I would check the connections and clean them. Make sure to unhook the battery before doing any work. If that doesn’t help you might try another screen. If that doesn’t work you could also try another home button. A different home button will work but touch Id will not work. The home button is paired to the motherboard and the only way to fix that is to take it to apple. If you take it to apple make sure it’s backed up. Apple will not guarantee your data. There is a home button available on the screen in settings that will work for most situations.
