Ive not seen any issues or with SW or just by opening them up, IMO they are just myths for bad repairs. If the home button stopped responding after just opening it, you've either damaged the cable on the right hand side of the phone. Someone try this, Make a back up of iPhone 7, Replace the screen with a aftermarket screen, seal it up and then put it in DFU mode, let it wipe it self then restore it in DFU mode. Just interested to see if it will replace the firmware and accepting the new screen and the HB as the original. I would do it but I do not have a iPhone 7 for testing. The Home button on iPhone 7 will not work if you replaced a new screen.
After a lot of research I've come across of a suggestion which sounded interesting to me. After reading through all these messages, here's a couple of interesting ones to try. However, sometimes while disassembling the iPhone, you damage the home button extension cable on the broken screen, then you try to fit a bad replacement part. Now home button doesn't work on neither the old nor the new screen, and you assume the home button itself has failed. As a result, the non-native home button will not be able to scan the finger print and will not react to any input.
iPhone 6s home button not working after screen replacement
After change flex , the home button works successfully. When buying one of these new buttons, it's either in the description or the price is above $10/button. I tried to adjust the home button intensity, changed the home button click speed, and uses AssistiveTouch to override this issue. I'm thinking it's something to do with the hardware on the phone but unsure, please help.
When replacing anything other than the screen , I seem to have accidentally sliced the screen cable. I replaced my battery on iphone 8 and click function does not work on the home button. To all those that have successfully transferred an original i phone 7 into another replacement digitiser screen assembly, whether from Apple or a quality aftermarket supplier, you got lucky dude. 99% of the time the home button link to the system is disabled if it is ever disturbed.
Part 4. General Solutions on How to Fix iPhone Home Button When It Is Not Working
If one of those doesn’t work to fix your physical home button, then at least you have the assistive touch feature to help you continue to use your iPhone like normal. Many replacement screens have a defective home button interconnect cable. When the home button works with the original screen but not the replacement screen, it is a bad screen and you need to warranty it or replace it. I changed several LCD and Home button replacements, generic and originals from the phone. The 3D Touch and home button cable is very fragile. Remove the metal backplate on the back of the screen an check the complete cable.
Get 2-3 drops of the isopropyl alcohol directly to the Home button not the screen, use the cotton swab to wipe it. Repeatedly tap the Home button so that the alcohol seeps into the frame, wait about minutes before checking to see if that did the trick. As we know, iPhone 7 gets the poor battery and charging your iPhone every day or more frequently is very common. Moreover, the two-in-one connector with headphone jack lets you use it more frequently. AssistiveTouch is the on-screen tool, which helps you perform gestures like a pinch, multi-finger swipe, or 3D Touch, and use Siri. In another word, AssistiveTouch is the alternative to Home button to play your iPhone.
iPhone 7
There is always something manufacturers need to work the kinks out. The 5C had bad touch issues, the 6 had frame lifting issues, 6s with force touch and now with the 7 it's the aftermarket force touch/backlight again. You’re going to need to use a heat gun to loosen the adhesives that keep the cable in place.
Even if the supplier exchanges it, the time and effort it takes to package it, write a note, ship it, track it, wait for it, will cost more. HB to board link has to be encrypted to make sure data can't be read by malicious hardware or software hacks. However Apple chose a simple static symmetrical key encryption instead of complex, secure but replaceable public key setup. The one I got in the shop last week, had a broken screen, AND a small crack in the HB glass disc. It has to be the original homebutton for it to work. It is unik to the original screen so touch id will not work with screen replacement.
Whatever you do on your iPhone, you can press it to go back to the home screen to start a new task. You can also get double taps to view all the background tasks and easily turn off or exchange the task. Originally from the UK, Danny is a freelance tech writer based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

You’re going to want to check the cable to see if it has broken down or stopped working properly. To do this, you’re going to need to remove the metal plate that is behind your phone screen. Personally the biggest issue is how you reconnected the home button flex cable at the top by the group of flex cables.
I called the vender who I had order the screen from to request a replacement for what i thought was a defective screen. I was told that it is hit and miss on iphone 8's - and that is was surprising that the home button worked at all. I did some searching on the internet and can't find anything about , the original home button for the iphone not working with a replacement screen. Is this really a hit or miss issue, or did I just have a defective screen.
Swap out the screen with a different one, and it works fine. Our theory is that it's the cable going from the home button connector to the logic board. Either way it happens frequently across several screen manufacturers. Id seek a refund on that screen you originally tried if it were me.
I've used original refurbished with every repair and never had one issue so far. This may not fix all of them, but it worked for me. The issue is the after market home buttons cannot work for the i7, at least for me I tried a couple of them and nothing.
Personally my thought is because of software the lock it once you open the phone. I had iphone this week and I replaced the screen, before I replace I connected the lcd with out home button, and then put together everything and replaced the screen... After replacing I was testing the phone, and realize touch id is not working, after this I did again and starts working... First of all, before doing anything, turn the iPhone 7/Plus off. If the home button or its flex cable is broken then it's completely shot, short of taking it to an Apple store for a replacement. An update - I had the same HB issue-fixed my own iPhone7 screen with an iFixit screen , reused my HB and my old camera/speaker assembly.
