VIDEO INSTRUCTION
Will the non-native Home button on iPhone 6/6s work after replacement?
Apple is serious about creating new devices. And therefore, special key chips are built into most original spare parts and modules, which allows you to check the originality of devices at the hardware level. And it doesn’t matter whether it’s an adapter for headphones or a new Touch ID module.
As soon as the system does not detect the required key, the device will be identified as unsafe, and some or even all of the functions will become unavailable.
The same will happen with the Home button.
The non-native button will only be able to transmit basic commands to control the desktop, but the functionality of the fingerprint sensor will become unavailable (that is, use Apple payment Pay or quick fingerprint unlocking will not work).
What to do if, after replacing the Home button on your iPhone, it starts to crunch and crackle, or there is some play?
Many users complain that after the replacement procedure it clicks and iPhone 6/6S button crunches. This may be due primarily to the fact that the new element is rubbing into its place.
Owners of brand new smartphones often complain about a similar problem.
Of course, if after some time the button does not stop cracking and crunching, and the effect even intensifies, it is possible that during the assembly process, abrasive (solid particles) got into the contacting parts, which causes such a sound.
If the assembly was carried out by a master, this is a reason to complain about the quality of the work and put pressure on a free rework.
In the case of independent work, there is no one to complain to; you will have to disassemble the device again and check all the moving joints, perhaps even replace the button again.
