Moderate

My Problem

The home button wouldn't recognize a press unless I used a lot of force. I was afraid I would break it even beyond repair if I didn't fix it.

My Fix

The repair went really well - I timed myself, and the whole thing took around 33 mins. The home button now works great, and requires very little effort to press.

My Advice

I watched the video before starting, which was probably the best thing I could have done. It helped me understand the step by step instructions even better.

The screws are tiny! Place them somewhere with high contrast or on a magnet where you can find them easily. They also may require a little extra force to come loose, so put a little weight into it.
