Home button doesn't have any correlation with the screen apart from the fact that it lays on it. It could be simply a home button fault or there could be some damage on the charging dock. Before closing screen on the housing you could try to short the two metal pins on the dock and see if it responds, as if clicking the home button.
In case nothing happens you can try replacing the dock. If you see no reaction even this way, it's a logic board failure or in best case there might be a damage on the connector where the dock connects to the board.
Was this answer helpful?
One of the metal pins was bent I was able to fix it fast THANKS
You're most welcome, glad I could be of some help.
