My sons iphone 5 has developed a fault with the home button. What happened was, siri would randomly turn itself on and then I read it could possibly be the home button and the home button ribbon cable at fault so I replaced both but now the home button doesnt work at all and siri still comes on randomly (the two prongs definitely touch the ribbon cable)
I have even tried putting the old button/cable back but the home button still doesn't work. He has updated the phone but it didnt solve the problem.
My son did originally have a couple of problems with the charger port. I thought it was crap come fluff inside the charger port so I carefully cleaned that with a toothpick but not much came out.
now someone has said it might be the docking port assembly cable thats knackered there about £4 so is it worth me changing it ? Or has anyone had the same problem and managed to fix it ?
