The gold circles you see are actually conductors. They send the signal to the phone telling it to respond to you pressing the home button.

Can a iPhone 5 power 3 plug ribbon be reattached to a screen please, not the home button, the 3 ribbons under the metal plate to power the screen, my ribbon came apart during a melt down sadly. Thankyou in advance great video.

What kind of adhesive do you use to stick the flex cable back?

My button has lost it's clickiness slightly and feels quite mushy to push. The top of the home button is difficult to press, I have to push down just lower centre to get a click. Will this just be the home button that needs replacing ?

Will I lose touch ID??? I heard that changing the home button you will lose touch ID, but if I only replace the cable will Touch ID still work?!? I have an iphone 6 but Im sure its probably the same story here.

I need to replace the plastic button because it got badly scratched (long story). I am confused...where does the actual flex cable for the home button actually connect to the main part of the phone. After you lift off the end of the cable it doesn't look as if though it connects to anything. How does the button send it's signal to the rest of the phone?

[alanfisher]

i got the 3 bottom screws mixed up. the 2 for the home button. and the one the goes into the grey plate on the back. i have 2 smalls screws and 1 longer one. idk where they go

[Dogasus]

Why do you have to take off the front part completely ? Cant we change the home button while the front still connected thru the 3 connector to the main body ?

I changed my flex cable, but my home button still won't work! I think the conductors are aligning with the pins, but I can't seem to get it to work anymore.
Any ideas?

The flex cable is not connecting to any circuit. How does iphone home button work on iphone 5? just wondering.
