iPhone overheating and home button moving

Hi everyone!

I broke my screen a few days ago and got it replaced in a repair shop nearby.

Since then, my iPhone is overheating on the right up corner and my battery Is draining way much faster than usual.. My home button is also moving but I guess it's not a huge problem. I don't really know how to fix it but my dad is quite good at it and if he knows what to do and how it should be fine!

I went back to the repair shop and they changed my screen again but it did not change anything. I went there because my dad and I thought they were going to be more professional that what he could have done but we were probably wrong..

If you folks think it's not a big issue and my dad can probably fix it by himself (he changed my IPhone 5 screen) and know how to repair I'll be more than happy to get your tips!!

Thank you very very very much!

Hello lilou.crapounette!

It sounds like you may be having some battery issues. How old of a device is it? If the device is over a year or two old, it might be time to replace your battery! The lithium batteries start to wear out around that year or two mark. Early signs of battery issues are shorter battery life, overheating, and even expansion of the battery, causing the screen to pop out of the frame. The shop you took your device too, do you recall if they were IFIXIT Mastertech Certified?

This would cause your heat issues. Now lets talk about your home button. I have repaired dozens of iPhones, and have noticed that some have wiggle with the home button. The easiest way that I have found to stop the wiggling home button issue is to first power down the device, then take the screen off with your anti-static mat or wrist band. And remove the home button retention plate. From here, you need to examine the plate and see if it is bent. If so, bend it slightly so there will be more pressure on the home button to prevent any home button wiggle.

I hope this information has helped you with your issues. Thank you for posting to the IFIXIT Forums!

The battery would not cause those heating issues; it is the rear camera. The battery is not near the top right corner.

Right on gigabit878.

The rear camera is shorted causing a short circuit on the board heating up the CPU which is at the top right of the phone.
