Hi

In that case you have 2 solutions.

The first and easiest : you can emulate the Home button by software. For such purpose do as follow:

1) go into settings\General\Accessibility

2) In the INTERACTION Sub menu put AssistiveTouch ON

3) Then you will see a button appearing on your screen that will emulate the Home button. You can swipe it & put it at the place of your screen you desire.

The second ; it's hardest but better : you will have to remove the digitizer using a hot gun or better a Hot air soldering/dessoldering unit and then to put back/replace the button . Possibly you will have to buy a gasket before to replace the former one (very cheap).

Good luck
