How to determine which component is broken?
My home and power buttons do not work.
Ideally the cheap solution would be to replace the ribbons if I'm not mistaken.
How can I determine whether the logic board is broken or the ribbons are dead? It might even be both! Is there any way to tell?

What started the problems? Water, dropped?
The power switch is part of an assembly
This is the home button
Is it possible that it is just the power button not sitting right or damaged causing the switch not to be activated?
iPhone 4 and 4S Power and Lock Button
Used to turn the phone on and off plus lock the phone — 50+ available at 4.95 each.
Contains the home button and cable to connect to the phone. — 50+ available at 14.95 each.
iPhone 4 Power and Sensor Cable (CDMA/Verizon)
This contains several key components of the iPhone 4. — 24 available at 24.95 each.
The cause of the problem is water damage. The buttons feel and click normally but do not function. I've already bought the assembly for the power and the home button. Hopefully that will do the trick. If not, I can assume it's the logic board, right?
Check out this article and consider disassembling/c
I've already disassembled and cleaned the logic board according to that guide. The home and power buttons are still not functional. Is the logic board trashed at this point? Is there nothing left for me to try?
