Home button not working logic board fault
Hi all
I recently bought an iphone 4 that I'd been told was water damaged.
So after a new screen and a good clean with ipa it is all working, except the home button.
I then put the logic board over into another phone that I know as a fully working home button. But still it does not work.
So I can only assume its a logic board fault.
Has anyone had any experience with fixing this? Where should I start looking or concentrate more cleaning?
I've also put the logic board out of the working phone into the shell of the one at wasn't. And it works. So definitely the board.
Is this a good question?

Did you check if the ribbon cable on the home button is torn? If not, try cleaning the contacts on the ribbon cable and the connector. Could be water corrosion on either.

Thanks For your message. Like I say I have put board into a phone that I know for sure has a working home button, and still no response. So must be be board fault, not ribbon or connector.
What could of happened on the board?

have not seen this problem with a water damaged iPhone.
i would try an ultra sonic cleaner. if that still doesn't fix your problem, personally i would give up.
but there are definitely some people on here who know what to do next...
