Chosen Solution
Hi. I replaced the screen on my iPhone 7 llplus as the glass had shattered and the screen started bleeding. I replaced the screen but transferred across my original home button as needed to use Touch ID. Before completely reassembling the phone, I tested the screen which worked. I also tested the home button which worked for Touch ID and also to press the home button. As soon as I press the screen into place in the casing of the phone, the button stops pressing, however Touch ID still works. I want to know why the home button is not pressing and how to fix this. If you lift the screen from the phone casing again, the button starts to press again. The issue only happens when the screen is pushed back down into place on the phone. I have tried adjusting how tight the screws are on the home button plate and also disconnected the Touch ID from the cable and reconnected but nothing is working. Please help.
see if home button works with front camera not installed
Hi, Please check if the home button bracket isn’t under the shield brackets, it should be over them. It could also be an issue with the screen, as there could be an issue with the cables, try another replacement screen. Also check you’re not getting the cables trapped between the screen and housing.
