Usually replacing a broken piece for a functional piece does solve the problem of the broken piece, so I'm gonna say "yes" on this one.

Yes and no, an aftermarket button will restore the return to home function but not the touch ID that can be restored only by Apple service with the suitable pairing device.

I know about replacing the home button is not recommended cause the home button and the logic board is always paired when it leave the factory. But my question was about the non functional power that if I replace with new will solve my problem?

@ernieu717 That's certainly the most reasonable thing to try. Here's a guide to help you with the job:

@ernieu717 was asking about the POWER button, not the HOME button. Touch ID has nothing to do with the power button.

@secondlife If you didn't tell me I would have never realized that..

The power button is not paired so changing it if it's broken should fix the issue… u can always get a new button and just plug it in to try it without fully fitting the flex :)

The home button is paired to the device changing it will give u the button back but not touchid :)
