Chosen Solution
Hi all, I recently replaced an iPhone 5 dock connector and everything is working fine except the home button. I’m 100% positive that both the dock connector and home button flex cable work, because I tested both by pushing the home button flex cables gold connectors on the dock connectors pins. I did this ^ with the screen tilted. However, when I put the screen back on the right way the two connecting parts don’t seem to touch each other, since the homebutton doesn’t work. I tried to bend the dock connector pins slightly up, but without success so far. Is there anybody who has any ideas how to solve this? Thanks in advance.
If I had to guess, you’ve damaged the pins on the dock connector, when removing the screen. Since you seem to already know what to do, I won’t bother posting a link. Just use assistive touch, until you can get a new dock connector This is also me guessing, the home flex cable is in good working condition
