After I replaced the battery, initially the home button worked as did the passcode, but the phone said touch ID not able to be initiated. After I disconnected the flex cable and reattached it even the passcode option didn’t come up, and nothing happens when I press the home button. Do I need to replace just the flex cable between the LCD screen/home button and the rest of the phone or should I replace the home button itself, as well as the flex cable? is there something else I should check first? The power button works, the camera appears to work, but the home button remains nonfunctional. Craig
You need to disconnect the battery, then reconnect the battery, then reconnect the home button cable. Kinda surprised it worked at all this way
Hello, Do you have remove the motherboard to replace the battery ? If yes, check if the lightning connector work then the flat cable of lightning is disconnected.
