Product Overview

Repair a sticky or nonfunctional home button.

• Includes the home button flex cable assembly and the home button face with metal ring in colors to match your iPhone 5s.

• Does not include the membrane that seals the home button face to the front panel of the phone.

Please note:

• Only the phone's original home button assembly will be capable of using the Touch ID functionality.

• Installing a new home button will only restore ordinary home button functions, not the Touch ID features.

• This part will NOT cause Error 53 issues.

• Unscrew the single captive Phillips #000 screw securing the home button cable.

• The captive screw is fastened to the home button cable by a spring contact backing. During reassembly, ensure the contact is in the correct orientation—on the side of the screw nearest the LCD.

• If your replacement part does not have this captive screw and spring contact, you will need to transfer them to the new cable.

• Fold the home button cable down, out of the way of the home button bracket.

• Remove the two 1.4 mm Phillips #000 screws from the home button bracket.

• Remove the home button bracket from the display assembly.

• Wedge the the tip of a spudger underneath the home button cable assembly.

• The home button cable is affixed by mild adhesive.

• Gently work the spudger underneath the cable to separate the home button cable from the front panel assembly.

• Do not remove the home button yet, as it is still attached to the front panel assembly.

• If necessary, remove the tape over the home button on the front side of your cracked front panel assembly.

• Gently push the top left corner of the home button up away from the front panel.

• Do not push the home button all the way through—you only need to get a corner free, so that you can pry it free with a spudger.

• This membrane is very thin. If you feel like you're going to tear the button, apply heat and try again.

• Peel the home button the rest of the way off of the display by prying gently with a spudger.

• Remove the home button assembly from the front panel.

• You may have to transfer the home button gasket to your replacement home button assembly.

• Using a set of  tweezers, gently peel the gasket off of the home button.

• The gasket is very thin; if you feel it begin to tear, stop peeling and apply heat before proceeding.

• Thread the gasket off of the ribbon cable.

• Removing the gasket over the home button risks stretching or cutting the thin gasket.
