So can´t you just replace the home button cable for a new cable as long as you use the old home button? why?

Please comment, whatsapp [phone]) or email me ([e-mail]) we can talk about the price and everything else then. Thank you very much for your support. :)

[@TheCashman007]

is there a way to know if the Touch ID Button has been replaced ? i got a used iphone6 i know the display has been replaced and i don't have Touch ID (same as in 0"42 & 0:49) how do i can find out if the Button has been replaced or if it's just the flex ? Thank you !

[@BillAnt]

I realize that the touch ID chip is right under the button covered with black poxy, but was wondering what does the larger chip do which is soldered into the flex cable closer to the connector? Is there any way to move the ID chip rather than re-soldering the fragile flex cable? By the way beautiful soldering job in this video. I don't think most people realize how small these parts/pins are. ;)

[@ericmaarquez]

Hello, hey i have the same problem because the Touch ID and the home botton don’t work, can you help me?

[@jatinkumar-ju9ml]

I changed the screen of iPhone 7 home button stop responding any idea how to solve this problem

[@BillAnt]

Could be caused by a couple of things... #1. You've damaged the home button flex cable #2. You've damaged the earpiece/camera flex cable #3. You've used a cheap/low quality replacement screen with a bad home button flex extension cable inside. #4. Unlikely, but could be caused by a bad main board. #5. Very unlikely, but could be caused by corrupted firmware. By the way what most people don't realize is that both the home button flex cable and earpiece/cam flex have to be attached in working, otherwise it won't even boot up properly. Trust me it's caused by one of these, I do this for a living every day. ;)

[@Tonyplat98]

There's just no way my hands are steady enough to do this... You sir have nerves of steel...

[@easy-tech334]

Is it also possible to just remove all the chips from the old button on the cable of the new button? Would the touch work than?

[@cryptobellz3349]

You guys really go all the way with these repairs 👍🏾

[@Feadds]

[@nomannafees4861]

Hi. Really informative. Once I got iPhone 7. Change of screen. Afterwards I found the touch ID problem. I changed the buttons but it not go through. Its home button was working perfectly but touch ID scan not. I am not sure why.

[@Quickfixtoolzoninstagram-j1w]

Yes he's 🔝 the best out there 🔐💯..

[@rewatechnology2008]

This method can repair 80% of the iPhone 6 series touch ID failures, so any ideas about the remaining 20%?

[@Wasuupbud]

REWA Technology I had Touch ID failure after replacing a screen (same home button assembly). After ruling out a faulty screen I did a full phone restore and Touch ID was working again! Maybe 20% is software issue?

[@apenchand9057]

REWA: Do you supplies the parts also? I want to know where is your service center?

[@rewatechnology2008]

We do offer parts, along with repair service and recycle solution, and we are based in Shenzhen China, with branches in USA and Czech. Any questions and demands please feel free to contact us at: [e-mail].

[@rewatechnology2008]

Yes, a small part of failures are caused by software issue.

[@rewatechnology2008]

For iPhone 5s and later versions, touch ID is paired with CPU, and the user who has replaced his home button will then lose its touch ID sensor function.

[@ni2opps]

nice work, my question is, why did you ruin the new button ? you could have used its own old flex cable by re-solder it. isn't ?

[@richardsth1]

I just love these REWA videos, as they've got all the kit to do these jobs properly, but they are not really practical for the average guy on the street., Did you notice that there was a hair stuck to the tweezers at 10:54 ? Luckily it didn't get lost inside the home button once he put the back back on.

[@foxshotYT]

Works with the 5S?

[@rewatechnology2008]

Almost the same operations.

[@kramned_9939]

Yup. I have done this method with a 5S a year ago, and it works perfectly. The same procedure. The only difference is i did not buy a new home button. i just used the same old flex. Cut directly to the bent section of the cable. Then removed those coating on the cable. Same procedure in this video. But of course you need a microscope to this. So difficult if you don't have. This method is pretty much legit. Good job REWA Technology for this awesome video. Thumbs up for this!

[@rayray5288]

Would touch ID still function if you cut and replaced the actual button at 5:17 - 5:21. In my situation touch ID still works but it seems as if the button died from overuse.

Great video. How does the flex cable break when harrdly any movement in cable is it down to wear and tear, quality of parts of the current through the cable ???????

[@laynelowry]

Bravo! I've been looking for a challenge. I'm going to attempt this repair and I'll letcha know how it goes. I haven't found anything to push my limits in a while but I never considered an iPhone home flex transplant. I honestly don't know if I can do this. I looked up the video because I was wondering where the data is stored that marries the home flex to the logic board. From your cut, it must be in the flex somewhere right? Can't we just move that component to a new flex?

[@laynelowry]

sorry, I just watched it again - so the marriage is in the home button itself, you're transplanting a new flex. Where is that component?

[@TheCeann]

So did you do it? 😁

[@blogJM]

How much do you think should I charge if someone asked me to do this (excluding the replacement parts)?

[@mrpharnos]

In Aust...I’ve found that a non working Touch ID devalues the phone from $50-$100 on the final sale price of most second hand iphones. So maybe that’s a good indicator of a cost to charge. Personally if I could do it (not saying I can) and it took 30 mins or less id probably just charge $50.

Better make damn sure you have the alignment perfect and the amount of tin on each flex just right. I can see a bunch of touch ID failed repairs after this video from people attempting this with little experience or no microscope.

[@dalebassett1384]

Its a no risk repair at this point if it works alls well if not you lose all home button functionality however seing as touch id has failed in the first place you got nothing to lose at worst you wont have a home button that works at all then in that case you would need to buy a replacement home button just no touch id or best case this will fix the touch id as ive done 35 of these fixes and have not failed as of yet

[@diapozitīvs]

True, but I have a longetivity issue - considering it's the weak point of all the design, how long would solder hold, considering that OEM flex got torn in the first place.
