Same broke mine too 😂

Does the touch id work??

You're welcome!

Much appreciated. Was doing a battery replacement and aside from the grease and crumbs off the chips the last person was eating, and their "anti tamper" stickers holding 3 screws they forgot to reinstall into the gap where the batt cable runs they left a partially torn home button cable that I finished off just from opening the screen. Not my first rodeo with this Ip7 and ip7+, but my first for touch ID issue. I thought it was a 1 piece cable but looking up ifixit and some videos like this I see that I can replace the screen and carefully swap the existing original home button over and everything will be good. A little expensive and now I have to wait for more parts vs the 30mins the batt replace was meant to take but at least I'm not trying to deal with Apple / postage to their stores again. I hope you're still around and see that you've saved a few of us from a headache you legend :)

Hicham Oihdi why not?

Just because ÿöü don't know how does not make it impossible

It can be replaced You need a universal home button

yes they can lol

you can't change it, once it's done it's done mate

I've just replaced a screen on the iPhone 7 I used a aftermarket home button that comes with the screen off eBay the phone kept boot looping so I put the original home button in from the cracked screen and the phone turns on but the button don't work at all

You won't have touch ID of course but here's a link ebay.to/2r9tIXd

Go Cell Phone Repair but will everything else work? Besides the Touch ID ?

The one in this video is Qianli if I remember correctly. Since then I've switched to a different one but can't find any brand name on it.

It is being transferred into a new screen and not replaced. If you replace it you will lose functionality.

Go Cell Phone Repair So is there any chance you can replace the home button for a new one? I'm aware that you'll lose the id touch but just the opening function? Because I have one 7 and one 7 plus and I've been trying like crazy but without any success.

Ah sorry to hear that. Replacing an iPhone 7 home button is purely cosmetic unless you transfer the original U10 aka Turtle IC from the original. Something that I have yet to do but hope to offer as a service eventually. Look up the GLon KZfaq channel. He sells a tool that is supposed to make this possible.

Yes. We do this regularly. In the event that it was damaged during repair I’d have to replace the customers phone.

Thank You for responding. Did the adhesive stick again after you removed the home button with the 99% alcohol?

Yes. If you use 99% isopropyl the adhesive should be sticky again after it dries. It usually doesn't need to be replaced until the button has been transferred a few times. Use your judgement there.

this is my problem did you find a solution, I just replaced the taptic feedback, that made no difference

Ahmad Darwish I’m no expert by any means but you might have a bad connection somewhere? You could try disconnecting and reconnecting the different connectors 🤷‍♂️ I’m really unsure

good trick with the heat, keep your finger on the i.c, soon as you feel that starting to get warm, you're good to peel the connector up

Yes. Just don't use very much and make sure that it dries up completely.

Yes, the following are listed as compatible 7 / 7 Plus / 8 / 8 Plus / SE (2020) / SE (2022). You will of course not retain Touch ID however if you replace the home button.

Zony Jan use assistive touch and use that as your home button

You mean 'stuck'

Push power button and slide to power down. Then restart it, it should now start up at the language menu.

Only when it comes to transferring the button to a new screen as far as I know.

If you can't fix the home button then only Apple can help you. It is not replaceable.

Ebay has them m.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Home-Button-Key-Flex-Cable-Replacement-For-Apple-iPhone-7-iPhone-7-Plus-/192253010657?var=&hash=item2cc32c22e1%3Am%3Am2fiZ93tO6KuphPehwR4Xsg&_trkparms=pageci%253Aedf9e06b-aa49-11e7-9637-74dbd180a30b%257Cparentrq%253Aefd129d915e0aa48a33c73b0fffee2f0%257Ciid%253A1

Touch ID will be gone if you use those.

not only touch ID, the button will not function at all.

Yup you gotta take it to Apple

They charge $350 for the home button

Touch ID info is paired to the logic board. Change the home button and it goes away.

Change new home buttom but not in use why

Please restate your comment.

Go Cell Phone Repair But will it be functional as a home button?

@@jbettss Last time I checked no. Pretty sure 12.1.2 still does not support click function on after market home buttons.

'Tis merely a flesh wound. Haha, actually I have no idea how that happened. One of those weird things where you notice it and wonder where it came from. All healed now and looked worse than it really was. From the direction of it I must have reached for something and scraped along an object sharp enough that it wasn't noticeable. Either that or a cat got me while I was asleep.

So what did you do wrong?

Pryed (using the plastic tool he used to hold down) and the cable broke off

Thom Steenbergen wat bedoel je maatje

lol yes it is, too much heat will damage touch id, too much pressure will damage the cable and it will be rendered useless

April.Vee it’s super fragile apple are making things worse and worse so no body can repair their products but people are smart day by day to find the solutions

Yes it is. Learned the hard way

I've been doing this for a living as well since 1994. There is no credit card in the video so maybe you have me confused with someone else.
