Home Button became unresponsive, just opened the phone up.

So I had something in my Auxiliary port, I smacked my phone a couple times. After that my home button started acting unresponsive. I lived with it for a couple days and finally decided to open my phone and see what’s up.

I fix phones like almost every day so I figured maybe it was just the connection. Opened it up and saw a screw missing that holds down one side of the bracket. I put one in that I had in my toolbox, finally found one that fit good.

Now, my home button only works sometimes on the lock screen and not at all on the home screen. I’m about to open it up again and recheck everything but yea would love some advice.

Thanks

If home button intermittently works it is usually due to a partially torn home button cable. This is fairly common when the phone gets dropped a lot.

You’ll need to get the home button replaced to fix that problem, the downside of a replacement home button is that you lose touch ID / fingerprint functionality to unlock the phone.

Idk I RARELY drop my phone. like maybe 1 to 3 times a year but it's possible I ripped something when I smacked my phone a couple times to get the dirt or whatever out of my auxiliary port. Goodness, that was dumb, I like my touch ID!

I'll probs just buy another 6s they are dirt cheap now anyways.

trying to put a new screen to check if it is due to connection of the screen. if the problem persists probably it is the home button issue

yeah so that means it is about the cable from your screen . Your home button is fine so problem solved

Tried my other screen, same $@$*. Home button doesn't look torn at all.. A bit confused at this point but yeah might just have to say F touch ID and use an after market home button. Blargh
