Description
The Apple iPhone 5 Home Button is the cosmetic external piece of a much larger assembly. The home button assembly consists of an external button, an internal flex cable, and the motherboard connector. If your cosmetic button is still present, then you may have an internal issue such as a broken flex cable, or a bent internal connector. If your screen arrived without a plastic home button, or you lost it during an iPhone 5 home button repair, then this is the part you need.
Apple iPhone 5 Home Button Troubleshooting:
- If your new button will click, but your device will not respond, double check that your home button flex cable is lined up correctly. Inside your device, there are 2 copper prongs that come out from the motherboard. Make sure these 2 prongs are making full contact with your home flex. If they are bent, then your new button will click, but not respond.
- If your new button will not click at all, make sure the screws and adhesive holding it in place are fully tightened down. If they are loose, then you will not get a “click” as the button cannot complete the circuit.
- If your new button simply will not fit, then you may have a defective or damaged part. Contact your source for the parts to see what their warranty will cover. If your parts came from Phone Doctors…
