Hello, I have this stubborn iPhone 5c which I can not get the home button to function. I have replaced both the button and the charging port twice to no avail. Even ios restore. Does anyone have knowledge of this issue?
check the contacts on the charge port and make sure they are not bent or damaged, also make sure the contacts on your button piece are aligned correctly as well. One issue during a charge port installation can be the port not being aligned properly as well. If all pieces are in correctly and the issue persists it could be a board or software issue. I would try a settings reset as well if all pieces are in there correctly.
The cable with the home button contacts must be aligned exactly right. The cable has two alignment holes that fit over corresponding little nibs when the cable is bent over itself i the proper way. There is also a bit of adhesive on the back of this cable to keep it in place. Then the whole assembly is screwed down. If the contacts are not bent then my guess is that the cable with the contacts is not indexed properly. Regards, Ed
