Hi carolann howat! If i understood right you are going to change the lcd screen and you want to put the old fingerprint sensor with the button to the new screen. YES you can replace the old fingerprint with the button to the new screen. The only way you CAN'T have the fingerprint working correctly is puting it in another iPhone(in another mainboard) or replacing the fingerprint with the button with another one. Then you won't have the fingerprint. At last, if in a brand new iPhone with fingerprint sensor we damage the fingerprint then even if we buy a new fingerprint it won't work because only the original fingerprint is working with the mainboard.
