I just replaced an iPhone 7 charging port and now the home button isn’t responding. I didn’t do anything with the display assembly since it was working just fine. Since it didn’t work I took the phone back apart, made sure the home button was connected on the display assembly, and everything checked out and is connected. Not sure why the home button isn’t working. I see to the left side of the charging port there is a pressure connector that goes up like it would touch the backside of the home button, that too is in place and not bent down or anything that would make it seem like it wouldn’t connect. Just looking for some help and if anyone else has encountered this and has overcome it. Thank you.
Tried checking the camera yet? My advice try disconnecting the camera from the circuit and trying the home button. This doesn’t stop being a fun problem. My team is working on it, sorry we don’t have better answers. Heard Jesssa’s team is on it too
Having the same issue .Replaced the charging port , and put the phone together, original problem iphone 7 would repeat white screen with Apple logo, eventually after connecting to mac and resetting phone all seemed well, until i realised the Home button does not work. I have taken it apart several times to check but to no avail. Yes any ideas would be grateful , ta.
I know this is a late reply, but have you checked the ribbon connectors that clip form your screen to the motehrboard. If theres is any form off damge caused to them whilst you were lifting the screen the home button will no longer work. consequently, you will need to replace the whole Touch assembly to get your home button’s functionality back.
