iPhone 5 Home Button Change Guide

Before you start to fix your iPhone 5 Home button make sure you are prepared. You should have Pentalobe and Phillips #00 screwdrivers, plastic opening tools, spudger, a suction cup and a new iPhone 5 Home button. Here comes the walkthrough on how to replace iPhone home button without pain. Step 1. It is necessary to turn off the smartphone before you make any further manipulations. Now get the 3.6 mm Pentalobe screws [they can be found next to your Lightning connector] away with the help of one of the screwdrivers. Step 2. Tightly attach the suction cup to your handset’s display. Step 3. Hold the device with one hand and use the other hand to pull up on the suction cup. You should separate the rear case and front panel. Afterwards use an opening tool to pry the rear case and detach clips that are holding your front panel away. Step 4. Keep going and carefully detach all the clips on the right and left side of the panel. Step 5. Gently pull the panel’s bottom off, rotate the panel as it is shown on the image. Don’t detach the front panel completely because it is still attached to the back panel by cables. Step 6. Use the screwdriver to remove 1.6 mm and 1.2 mm screws. Step 7. Detach the cable bracket that attaches the logic board and front panel. Step 8. Detach LCD, Digitizer and front-facing camera cables using an opening tool. Step 9. Finally you can take the front panel away. Step 10. The Home button is attached with the help of two 1.3 mm screws. You should remove them. Step 11. The button bracket should be flipped to the right. Step 12. The Home button is secured to the display with the adhesive. Press on the center of it [on the display side] to loosen the grip. Step 13. You’ll need the spudger to lift the button. Be gentle with the rubber that surrounds it [don’t tear it] and replace your old Home button on iPhone 5. Also you can read about iPhone 5S Home Button novelty and functionality.
