I started having problems with my home button the other day. It only worked about 10% of the time, and didn’t work at all for long presses. Touch ID also stopped working. So I thought that I would go and replace the home button. Ive now replaced the home button and it is still having the exact same issue. It still only works 10% of the time. I am now starting to believe that the problem isn’t the home button, but somewhere the home button connects to. I don’t want to have to replace the WHOLE front of the phone just to fix the home button… Any suggestions? This is a very strange issue.
iPhone 6’s home button has nothing to do with the screen. It’s completely separate, the cable too I believe. What exactly did you replace? The button? Or the daughter-board beneath the button? https://d3nevzfk7ii3be.cloudfront.net/ig… If the button still works, but only “10%” of the time, sounds like it’s simply dirty where the connection bridges. If you can get to the mechanical switch (the clicky thing where the home button presses) when you take your phone apart, put a couple drops of isopropyl on to it (no less than 90%, 100% is best) and click it rapidly around 50 times. Add another drop, click again. Then reassemble the phone.
