While replacing my front screen I disconnected the home button ribbon located under the speaker configuration. Now I can’t get it to get back on to stay and work properly. How can I fix this?
it’s a slide in connection with a lockbar..you need to flip up the tab/lockbar on the side that the flex will go in, then slide flex in on top of pins, when you feel resistance push the lock bar back down.
the guide on here has the best pictures I could find: iPhone 4 Home Button Replacement
iPhone 4 Dock Connector Replacement is it possible you have removed the dock connector? this link is about 3/4 the way through the guide, I think this could be it.
Hi Luke, did you ever figure this out? I did the same thing :(
