IPhone home button no longer works

hardwareiphone

Recently I dropped my iPhone, breaking the screen, so I had that replaced with a new screen by myself that I brought from Amazon.

Now that I replaced it, the iPhone home button doesn't work at all because when I press it, it doesn't do anything, no matter how hard or many times I press it, it still won't do anything.

Later on, I took apart the iPhone and replaced the home button with a new one, and this didn't solve the issue and yet I don't know why it doesn't work at all.

I have pictures of my iPhone 3GS, hopefully it should help or whatsoever.

How can I get the home button working again?

Have you checked that when you re assembled the phone you lined up the positioning of the dock connector correctly, a tiny bit off and it will cause the home button to not work.

See this solution for removing the back of an iPhone 3GS for disassembly instructions. On step 29 you will see the importance of this components positioning.
