Home Button Ribbon Cable Connector Stuck w/Story
Hello everyone I've got quite a story for you. I bought these two iphones (iphone 5s and iphone 5) from someone on Craigslist list for $50 in the description it said they don't turn on so I thought it was an easy fix, I'm thinking it could be stuck in DFU Mode or even simply get a new battery for both. Well I got the iphone 5s out of DFU but the speaker wasn't work and the home button wasn't either. And on the iPhone 5 side of things it needs a new battery. So on the iPhone 5s I decided to check the inside of it and found that it is missing three screws, home button cable bracket missing and the home button wasn't even connected so I tried to connect it back but couldn't so I tried electrical tape but that didn't work. Then I looked at the connection closer and realized the connectors were stuck together, then I realized the lightning connector wasn't connected either so I connected that and thought that would fix the speaker so without trying to connect the home button I power it on to only find out it, I some how made it get into a blue screen loop, meaning I can't even check if I have fixed the speaker problem. I then put the blue screen problem to look up if I can buy a new home button but found out I would lose the fingerprint. So I searched if anyone has had the same problem of the connectors as me but didn't find anything. So the question I have is am I able to disconnect the connector bits from each other? (Sorry if this was a long post) Some pics of the connectors
Is this a good question?

Does the blue screen problem occur even with the charger port dock ribbon cable unplugged? Also try unplugging the front camera cable as well. It's the cable next to the two horizontal ones at the upper part of the logic board.

Yes it still gets the blue screen with both the front camera and charger cable disconnected, also if the charger cable or the front facing camera alone are disconnected I still get a blue screen
