iPhone 5s home button schematics/boardview wanted - GSM-Forum

fireheart94 · 01-11-2017, 15:22

Hi guys...I lent my 5s to a friend when I got my 6s and he went and broke the screen and got it changed and returned the phone to me. When I got it back the home button flex was torn and a piece missing I have some other torn flex cables and my intention is to fix the button with the torn flexes I have but making jumpers directly to the flex is a challenge because the traces are so thin and close together does any one have a schematic of where the pins from the connector go to on the components?

Get a working home button and check where the connector pins go to components! Gonna cost you maybe 5 minutes tops, no schematic available.

Any idea of how to take off the resin without damaging the components?

Dangerous to use hot air because the flex is sensitive, use small soldering tip and scratch on top of the components enough so the multimeter probes can touch the components.

What is your goal?
Saving some bucks or getting your finger print scanner back?

I you go for the last thing this is an option:
Remove the ic from the flex where the fingerprint is in ( the square big ic)
And place it on an original flex. (of course be really carful with it because the flex is extremely thin)

Have you tried it before?
