Introduction |
| Use this guide to remove, transfer, or replace the home/touch ID sensor a.k.a the home button in an iPhone SE 2022. | | | This guide was performed on the ***A2783*** (international) model. | | | The iPhone SE 2022’s home “button” is actually a solid-state sensor, which also includes Touch ID (fingerprint recognition) capability. | | | ***Most replacement home buttons won’t work***, so check carefully before starting your repair. Your iPhone’s original home button is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory—and without Apple’s proprietary calibration process, even a genuine replacement home button from another iPhone won’t work. To fix a broken home button, you should install a specially-made, universal-style home button. Note that these replacements only work as a button and you'll loose Touch ID functionality. | | | If you are only replacing a broken screen, you can use this guide to carefully remove and transfer your working original home button to a new screen, preserving all functions, including Touch ID. | | During this procedure, to avoid accidentally straining or tearing the display cables, we highly recommend to completely detach the display assembly before beginning repairs on the home/Touch ID sensor. But if you are comfortable doing so, you may skip the display assembly section of this guide and go straight to the home/Touch ID sensor section. | | ***Note:*** This guide instructs you to fully detach and remove the display assembly; this is highly recommended for easier handling and to prevent damage to the display cables. If you feel comfortable removing the Home/Touch ID Sensor while keeping the display cables attached, you can skip the steps for disconnecting the display. | | | If you do not replace the adhesive seals when reassembling, your device will function normally, but will most likely lose its water protection. | | | You’ll need replacement adhesive to reattach components when reassembling the device. |
