How do I put on my home button?

How do i replace my home button after fixing a cracked screen. I can't seem to get it to stick tight enough to press. Any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated.

Good luck, looks like the original was set onto plastic pins that were then heated with press. You'd probably need to remelt the plastic pins with the home button pressed firmly in. When you order your replacement screens, always pay the extra $5 to get one with the home button included.

Good luck

You don't Need to.

When you Cut of the plastic pins, you can stick the metal plate with the Home button back on it. The Metal plate is covered in Glue, Believe me - It will hold ;)
