Some issues after replacing home button and battery

Hello,

I refurbished an old iPhone 6 Plus today and the phone is working properly now. Unfortunately, the assembly back together is giving me issues.

I replaced the home button and the new home button works, but the button cannot be physically pressed when fully assembled. It feels stuck. I can slightly loosen the two screws to allow it to work, but I don’t think it was like that before. I’ve reseated the home button a few times with no success.

Secondly, the phone does not sit flush when fully assembled again. It sticks out towards the bottom of the phone. It almost certainly has to do with the home button assembly. I have also replaced the battery, however, the issue persists with or without the battery installed.

I’m not sure where to go from here. Any help is appreciated.

Hi @jaysf

This issue usually comes up when the rubber gasket around the home button has moved or crimped. The screen won’t sit flush if the screws on the home button cover plate are not screwed in tight.

Try taking off the button and align the rubber around the button as flush as you can get it. If it is damaged, get a new one.

Hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply, I am taking a break from it for now, I will give it a shot later. The two tiny rubber pieces around the screwholes broke off, so I threw them out it doesn't have to do with those does it? The ones directly below the gasket.

I was referring the rubber gasket that surrounds the home button (see picture above). It is also possible that the wrong size screws are used to hold the button down...

@honakrisi Hi, I still haven't got it working, I have reseated the home button a bunch of times and it still wont stay flush. The gasket seems to be placed fine and the screws are the correct size.

Attempting to close the phone actuates the home button, and from what I can tell the home button assembly does not interfere with the battery. I don't know what else to try.

Hi @jaysf ,

If the button activates when you attempt to close the screen it definitely misaligned or there is something in the way.

When you place the home button in, is it flush with the screen? Also chech if the cover plate on the button is the right way round and not bent.

The only other thing I can think of is if the antenna is nor routed properly along the battery and gets in the way when you attempt to close it. Can you take photos of the phone to see what might be wrong?

Hi, I am fitting the locks into place when I close the phone, there seems to be no issues there.
