Chosen Solution
Dear Ifixer’s, I have some issues with an iphone 7 screen replacement. Replaced the customers screen and looks like the homebutton isn’t working anymore, but the touch ID reader still does. I have readed already some answered question involving homebutton troubles. Some say entering DFU mode and installing the software again should solve the “half” working home button issue, but in my case it didn’t…. Wat i did so far is handled the screen repair with the most precision, after the repair checkt all the cable’s and connection’s and everything looks fine at first site. I entered DFU mode and reinstalled the iphone but i still don’t have a result… Is there anyone that had the same issue ? Can the homebutton still be rescued, or is there anything that i overlooked or still can try to do ? Please tell me you’re all given a BIG thanks in advance for reading and taking your time to do, and try to help. Thank you Koen

These home buttons are extremely picky in my experience with repair this device. I have found the culprit to be the screen home button cable That is attached to the lcd assembly I attempted a new screen and it fixed the issue for me its worth a shot. Stephen T.
