How to Test and Fix iPhone Home Button

Home button repair is common for cell phone repair technicians. There are some solutions you can have a try to fix your iPhone home button. Hope it will give you some help!

1. Realign Connector You've probably had your iPhone for a long time, and you've more than likely charged it every single day since you got it. So, it's quite possible that you might have inadvertently shifted some things out of place plugging and unplugging that 30-pin connector everyday. Since the Home button is directly above the connector port, it's common for the 30-pin connector to knock the home button out of alignment. To remedy this, simply plug the connector into your iPhone and push down gently on the connector, which will force the Home button upward. As you're pushing the connector, press the Home button and see if that solved your problem. 2. Calibrate iPhone Maybe it's the fastest and easiest method for fixing your iPhone home button, though, it won't work for everyone. Just open up one of the native iPhone apps, like Weather or Clock, and follow these steps. Press and hold the sleep button until the slide to power off swipe bar appears, then release the button. Now, press and hold the Home button until the phone returns to the home screen. That's it. Two steps. If it worked for you, cool, it was probably due to an app not loading or closing properly. 3. Clean Your Home Button Your iPhone's Home button can get dirty after long-time use, which may cause it to lose it functionality. Lint from your pocket or old Cheetos dust can find its way into the small crevice encircling the home button. In order to clean this out properly you want to use isopropy (rubbing) alcohol and a specialized phone fix cotton swab. Put a few droplets of alcohol directly on the Home button and push down on it using the cotton swab. Wait a few minutes and then check to see if that fixed the problem. 4. Setting If all of these other methods fail and your Home button simply does not function, you always have the option to enable the on-screen Home button. Go to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch. Turn on Assistive Touch and a small circle will appear on the screen. From there you can control volume, Siri, screen lock, and add favorites as well. 5. Restore Your iPhone Restoring your iPhone is the most common fix for your Home button lag. Just make sure to back up all of your data in iTunes before you restore your device. To restore your iOS software, connect your iPhone to iTunes and select it under Devices. Find the Summary tab, then click Restore. 6. Spin and Twist Simply place your iPhone on its back, hold the Home button down firmly, and then twist the phone clockwise. If you have a case, you will probably want to remove it to allow for easier rotating. Why would such a thing work? I have no idea. But if you want your Home button to work again, it's worth a try. 7. Replace new Home Button It will be like a challenge if you want to try and replace the iPhone Home button on your own without much experience. The process is tedious and very difficult, you need to buy phone fix screwdrivers, prying opening toolkit, suction cup, replacement parts and son on. It takes risk for yourself to do it, so it's best to do this as a last resort.
