How to Quick Fix Unresponsive Home Button - iPhone 3G/3GS
A fix for the common iPhone issue of a difficult-to-press or unresponsive home button. This is not the power-button-unlock fix; this does require some VERY B... Video Rating: 4 / 5
spot on this. just be careful that you don't break the tape connector and the two press connectors. but otherwise this is a remedy for repair in my opinion
Ran out of space. For fixing a broken lead you need to solder from each connector to each pad. Switching the connectors will not hurt anything because all a switch is is a break in a piece of wire. Just make sure that you do not bridge the two pads with solder this will make the home button always on! If you do bridge the pads youtube solder wick. Again, if you overheat it you smoke check (kill) that part of the circuit! -from an engineer LIKE THE POSTS
I know there's a lot videos on how to go about this problem and some pipol charge you 200 quid for a fix but basically this is the less intrusive and should be considered first on the list. Thanks for this vid it is indeed a quick fix! If this did not work I could have gone to the length of replacing my home button but thanks again. I closed my fone first time and it did not not charge.. i swept accidentally the charging connection on the board so just watch out for it :)
Before you do that, try this peeps, works like magic... Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather Press and hold down the Power button until the "Slide to Power Off" dialog appears, then release Now press and hold the Home button until the "Slide to Power Off" screen disappears, force quitting the application
NO SHIT! I done this right now, 2 minutes and boom FIXED! I had to partake in a little soldiering to stick one pin that detached itself and there we go. Nice one bro, was gunna pay £100 for a replacement too. SWEET!
It's okay, one is allowed to swear on the internet.
