Hardware Solution

• When it comes to hardware, the very first thing that you need to do is to unplug home button strip and check its onboard connector for any loose contacts.

• Clean both home button strip and its onboard connector, after you do that re-plug and check.
• In case display strip still has a loose contact with on-board connector than change the entire charging dock strip, (Home button is at the charging dock strip).
• If the above step fails then you need to change your entire display, and this is mainly because of the fact that Home Button components are inside the display screen, which cannot be repaired manually, as that’s the machine’s work. You don’t have any other option than to change your display screen in order to get your Home button fixed.
