Advice needed for iPhone 6 touch ID problem - GSM-Forum

oliverkop · 10-19-2016, 21:25

Dear All,

I have a iPhone 6 with a touch id problem.

Everything is original i.e. button flex ( I have tried a new long home button ribbon which runs from the plug to the button flex )

The phone allows you to go into the enter finger print part but once you're in it the button it's self does not reconise a finger has been placed on top of it.

I also do not get the "oops" message if I press the button during the finger print reading.

Any ideas what components to check to determine why the finger print part of the button is not registering when a finger is placed on it?

Thanks for any advice

Oliver

I have also same problem with a 6 plus. Problem was the bad quality of flex cable between home/ touch sensor and mainboard. After a little resoldering/ cleaning the connectors, all is ok!

Look for any micro tear on the home button flex.. also it might be your long flex cable, the one that runs in back of the LCD which I've seen go bad and just try a different one

Check the place around your home button connector on the board. It is also possible that u damaged a cap around the connector.
