I know this is probably already somewhere online, but a google didn’t yield helpful answers. Anyone know if touch id extension cable is paired to the logic board? Not the home button sensor itself, the extension cable beneath the metal shield. Has anyone successfully replaced that cable and was able to use touch id and restore fine? I know all restores should work fine even with the cable completely disconnected since apple changed it earlier this year. Thanks.
No the cable extension is not paired to the motherboard, only the home button is.
no i dont think its paired to the logic board the actual bit that sits right next to home button is paired
No it isn’t. It was in the iPhone 5s, and you couldn’t really open it withourt snapping the cable. But i have opned a lot of iPhones, and lot of the 6’ model. The cable isn’t attached so you can open it without snapping the cable. Happy repairing! Greetings
