Problems may occur with the home button if there is dirt or something that is damaged underneath the button. In this guide, you will learn the steps to remove the back panel and lower motherboard of the phone to isolate the home button, clean the area around the home button, and replace the home button. When removing the back panel use the proper tools to avoid cracking the screen or damaging any other part of the device.
