I am having an issue with the home button wobbling/sliding/sticking after replacing the screen on an iPhone 6s. I read the question ‘iPhone 6S home button “sticking” after screen replacement’, and it similar, but also different. If I tighten the screws on the plate that holds the home button in place, it makes it such that the button won’t depress. So, I loosened the screws and bent it a little and the button will depress, but it wobbles/slides around a bit. Now, if I put the screen back together all the way and tighten the screws that are by the lightning port, then the button becomes too tight again and won’t depress. Is it possible that the opening for the home button in the screen is too small (just a tiny bit)? If so, should I/can I enlarge the hole? Thanks, Rob
Hi, Well I wish I could say that it was the gasket, but it wasn’t. Turns out that the replacement screen’s opening for the home button actually was a bit too small. So, using a little bit of sand paper, I was able to just barely enlarge the opening and smooth it out (I guess) enough so that the home button fit properly. I appreciate everyone’s help on this. Rob
Hi Rob, Is the gasket that is adhered to the home button loose? The gasket provides ingress protection and also adheres the button assembly to the display assembly: iPhone 6s and 6s Plus Home Button Gasket
