I recently had water splashed on my 3GS and the Home button started flaking out afterwards (i.e. sometimes it would work, sometimes not) and now it doesn't work at all.

Two questions:

1) Has this happened to any of you guys, and what did you do to fix it?

2) If I buy JUST the Home button from ebay or anywhere, can it be extracted and replaced? I heard from RapidRepair that there are two plastic prongs that hold it in and it cannot be taken out. If that's true, do I have to replace the entire front panel?

Thanks,

Mike
