The home button assembly is attached to the front panel with some adhesive. The use of an iOpener to soften the adhesive is highly recommended.

Place the iOpener in the microwave and microwave it for one minute on the highest power setting (or just thirty seconds if you're using the newer gel-filled iOpener).

Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair procedure. We recommend waiting at least two minutes before reheating the iOpener.

Place the iOpener over the home button on the front edge of the display.
