While opening my iPhone 6 for a screen replacement, the cable for the touchID sensor was slightly sliced, and now my home button of course is inoperable. Does anyone know if it is possible to replace ONLY the cable, or do I need to replace the entire home button, and lose the functionality of TouchID? Thanks very much in advance.
It is possible when you have micro soldering skill, I know that the computer room (Leon Stacey) in England does fix home button cable, don’t know what they charge for such repair.
You can get it fixed by apple and you will still have touch ID. If you replace it you WILL lose the function of touch ID. You can try to solder it together. Good luck
This is how it’s done. These are from Chinese technicians, I’m not sure if anyone in the Western Hemisphere offer this, at least for reasonable costs.
Once the original button is torn, there is no fixing the actual touch ID portion of your home button. You can of course reply able to get the home button feature to work. The part is cheap and easy to install. No Touch ID though going forward.
Anyone who says it can’t be repaired is not informed. It can be repaired via micro soldering and connecting a cable from another Touch ID. Or the chip can be swapped to another unit. But that Touch ID chip is married to the cpu.
