Well, first of, I got a problem with a iPhone 5. After a screen replacement, the home button stopped working, I quickly replaced the buttonparts and I still couldent make it work. Everything looks fine regarding connectors - the pins from the flex cable is matching the “flex” from the home-button. I have tried shortening the pins with a screwdriver and replaced multiple flex cables but it still not work, is it possible some other connectors is damaged - and in what should I then be looking for? Hope to hear from you guys!

These are the two pins you need to short in order to bypass the Home button. They are on the left side of the image. If shorting these two pins does not work, then I would look at the Lightning Port. It may have a damaged flex near those pins or improperly connected to the logic board.
