Iphone 5s change touch id chip - GSM-Forum

williwutz · 03-21-2017, 22:27

Does anyone try to desolder the chip from the Homebutton flex and solder it to another Homebutton flex to get touch id working when changing homebutton? (Destroyed the old flex cable). Changed some chips on logicboards with hot air succesfully, but i'm afraid, hot air will destroy the flex.

This is also my idea to fix my iPhone 7's home button. Unfortunately my flex is ripped. So I would like to solder the IC to another original flex.

Would that work? Or has the sensor itself also an IC inside where the key is storaged?

Best regards!

indeed.

Then it's not worth to try it

I'll send it to Apple for screen replacement and will pay 170€.
An iPhone with broken home button and/or Touch ID is crap for me.
