How to Troubleshoot iPhone 5 and 5C Home Button

This is one way to determine if home button problems are happening because of the button itself. Using the procedure shown in this video you can check to see if the charging port contacts that interface with the home button flex cable are functioning. If they are then replacing the home button flex cable should solve your problem.

After watching this video. I figured out the issue that I am having. You see, I ordered a part for a new screen and apparently the issue was that the discs on the bottom of the screen where bent in a wierd way. Soo I compared it with the old screen and the others where flatten. Soo I removed the screw holding the frame for the lcd and began to push slightly on the discs, and the wires and boom problem solved! Thanks! If you hadn't explain how the home button functions then I would have been scratching my head for awhile 👍👍 thanks again!

Thank you soooo much!!!! I did a Battery repair on my iPhone 5c because it was terrible and because the tabs snapped I had to pry the battery out so I must’ve bent one of the things to the home button so I ended up bending it back and it worked

Thank you very very much. I appreciate your video.. it helped solve my problem. The metal contacts inside the phone were pushed down too much. I gently lifted them back up just a bit. While the phone was open, I gently cleaned the mental contacts on the home button.. all works great again.

The pulling the tab part (closing circuit) worked like a charm, thank you.

Thanks for the tips, but when I connect the 2 silver things, the home button works, but when I but the home button back, it does not

Thanks. Must of accidental bump the two little contacts while I was replacing the battery! LOL!

Hi, great vid, Although ive got a different problem. I replaced my old battery with a new one. After repair i found out that my buttons ( turn on/off, sound buttons, mute and home button ) do not work.
Would you mind helping me with that? How do i fix that?

[Jacobe]

Liked. Thank you for the detailed and clear explanation.

Thanks! Home button fixed, contacts just needed to be raised a bit.

Hello and thanks for this video, if i have broke one of the two contacts that you show at 1:50, do I have any chance to change only that piece? What spare part should I look for?

[emmanuelnyakondo]

Thank you this is one of the most helpful i've watched

[pdlegend]

Great vid...thanks... Just knowing to short those contacts out I was able to figure out the button itself was an issue because it wasnt making contact

[frickenpoptarts]

if the charging port contacts dont circuit do i just need to purchase the whole dock port? or what else can be the problem.

[geocow]

If one of the two contacts are broken what part is needed to order?

Hello, i want to ask. I have iphone 5g and the homebutton didn't work. If i replace it, can i use the 5s style home button into my 5g? Thank you

[harrvey]

Does the iPhone 4 have the same contact points as the 5 and 5c?
Thanks :)

[Sandrinhabh]

Thank you, works perfectly again. God bless you.

Hi! When I test it like you did with the clipboard it works, I checked the contacts and they are broken.. what do I need to buy!? Because I was checking on amazon and it doesn't show the contacts on the charging full flex replacement.

Thank you so much... I had the same... I should of thought to check that I changed the old home button but all along it was that ... I did order a New one just in case...
