Iphone 7/8 home button IC.. - GSM-Forum

Hello fellow users...

I've searched a bit around, but not able to get 100% certain answer...
While replacing screen on an ip 7, I did the big blunder and chopped a little corner piece of the ic on the flex...
I've seen quite a few videos of technicians replacing this ic chip, but never get any clarity wether this will give you a working home button function and touch id...

I was pretty sure that the ic was paired with the logic board...
Am I right?

yes, after replacing this IC everything will work nice including TOUCH ID.
This ic doesnt have any serial number or security data, so just do it.
