Hi all fixers!
I got problem with home button in my iPhone 7 plus. Just few minutes ago i clean my charging port with Isopropyl Alcohol 99,9% but few drops of it drop on home button. Now the home button doesnt “click” but touchID working perfectly fine. What can i do now? It is dead and need to change the home button?
Or maybe i need to open the iphone and clean it inside?
Is this a good question?

Firstly try opening the phone and making sure everything inside is fine. Clean all of the connectors with the iso and then make sure it’s all firmly plugged in before trying to power on again. If you’re still having no luck with it, then you may need to get a third-party replacement button, but be aware any replacement home button will only function for the click, and TouchID will no longer work.
An alternative could be to use the assistive touch feature instead of physically clicking the home button. Personally I would rather be able to unlock the phone with the TouchID, even if the actual click of the button didn’t work, but up to your preference.

On iPhone 7 onwards, changing the home button does not restore any function. It will not click or touch ID will work

After a few moments when the alcohol evaporated, it started to work .

Make sure it is correct alcohol, not all of them are suitable for these jobs. If it stops working, it is not the right product, be careful.
Make sure it is + 96% purity or do not reuse it in electronics.
