[Solved]6s Battery Replacement - Now Home Button Is Not Working

'''[ Solved - It was the screen ]

'''

My Sister handed down her fully working iPhone 6s to my Mum. Just needed a battery replacement. It has been factory reset.

I have done a couple of ipads and a few 5c so the task wasn't a issue.

Do the volume up/down buttons work on the "Hello" freshly factory reset screen? Home button and vol keys do not work. Power and ringer swtich do.

edit: Vol keys are working.

No visible damage.

-Reseated cables many times.

-Hard reset (Home/Power) doesn’t work.

-iTunes update and factory reset.

Touch screen is unresponsive at the 'quick start/manual set-up' screen but works at the ‘Hello’ screen: https://youtu.be/HkF7EnBLahI

I think you need to test an other screen because of the cable for the homebutton goes in those flex cables of the screen.

It was the screen. Tested on a replacement. Thanks all.

IIRC, the volume buttons don't have any effect on the "Hello " screen.

Correct. I turned off the phone and this time it it was at the language selection page, vol up/down work. I cannot proceed any further at this time. I do not have a sim with the correct carrier handy. I guess I damaged the LCD cable/s? I have reseated them several times. I will need a replacement screen to check.

Hey, have you tested a hard restart? homebutton and power button at the same time.

You will see if it takes long time for it to show the apple logo if so the homebutton feels okey if it only starts its probebly the cable/contact.

On 6s the cable between the homebutton and the upper contact goes in the screen, can you photo the flex cable and connector of the screen?

Added many photos. unfortunately Budget HTC Desire cam isn't very good especially at night time even with a LED lamp.

Hard reset doesn't happen, phone doesn't reboot. I only see the 'slide to power off' screen.
