I had replaced my Ipod touch 8gb 2nd generation digitizer with a replacement because I had cracked the screen. The home button worked before removing the digitizer so I than replaced touchscreen works excellent but the home button does not work. So is it the digitizer ribbon not being in proper place or something or is it a faulty screen/home button? If you can help it would be appreciated.
Is this a good question?

Not in the shop right now, but if I recall correctly, on under the home button on the board there is "s" shaped copper connector sticking up. When you press the home button, it presses this connector down. Use a plastic pry tool and "gently and slightly" pull up on the connector. In other words you want to shape it from "s" to "S", just slightly taller.
What happens is the "S" connector gets pushed down too much towards the logic board and when you press the home button it can't make contact.
