Recently I've been doing a few screen replacements (mainly just cracked screens) for family, friends mainly 6-6s-7-7plus iphones.
I'd look through eBay and pick a seller who's sold lots of screens and good feedback but what I've found of late is, the home button touch ID won't work even after swapping out the original home button from the cracked screen.
I check the home buttons working on the cracked screen first before swapping out but once its in the new screen it doesn't work.
I will then swap it back to the cracked screen just to make sure and it works fine which proves the fault lies clearly with the new screen.
Ive even gone to reseting and updating the phone via PC and the home button still doesn't pick up the touch ID.
I then message the seller explaining the siruation which they normally reply to with a "Re-seat the clip" or "You must have damaged the home button ribbon cable"but this is most definatly not the case or it wouldn't work when put back on the broken screen.
My question is, has anyone got a trusted seller qho sells replacement iPhone screens were the majority of the time the touch ID works ok when you've swapped over the home button.
I've 3 here going back all different seller,one seller even said that is normal as iPhone have blocked this in OS 12.1
