My Problem

Home button was not operating right

My Fix

I found it very difficult, main reason being that the iFixit-supplied home button is not quite exactly the same outline ath the original part. The flex cable does not fit right in the opening. As a result, this step (first step of the assembly) which is already, by far, the most challenging, is nearly impossible. (I just would like to see the lady of the video performing this step, not only the disassembly...) The rest of the procedure (23 steps) went quite smoothly

My Advice

iFixit : Fix the design of this part , Please !!

Fellow repaimen: be very careful to lay down all screws, step by step, on a white sheet of pper where you can note to which step they belong
