Hi, Upon changing the battery within my iPhone 7 the home button does not function at all. Reading online, it said that the most likely issue was due to ripping the home button flex cable, therefore, I ordered a replacement home button to return the functions (apart from Touch ID). The replacement part when fitted also did not work! Therefore, I am thinking that the issue is not with the button but with the LCD flex cable. Has anyone else had the same issue? I think my best bet is to order a replacement LCD and test that with the original home button? Anyone else agree? Thanks

Yes that should fix the problem. The home button flex cable from the screen usually gets a small tear right at the bend. Sometimes it is very hard to see without magnification. A new screen will return your original home buttons function.
