Boot Loop / “Home Button Issue” on iPhone 7 Button Replacement

So I replaced the screen and home button over on a iPhone 7. Once both replacements were made, I turned on the phone and it showed an Apple logo, but then turned off, then back on.

i unplugged the battery, disconnected the home button, but attached the screen. Everything works fine.

when connecting the Home Button again, it loaded up but a message appeared saying that the button is having issues and provided me with Accessible button.

Based on that, it seems to problem has to do with the button. Should I just order another button & try agin OR is there anything else to do?

Answered! View the answer I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

First you need to carefully check the home button flex coming off the screen for a tear. However this sounds like a damaged component on the home button assembly itself while you were transferring it.

You could try another screen to rule out the flex cable, if it is still the same you can purchase a universal home button. They work the same as a normal home button without the fingerprint ID feature.
