Chosen Solution
I have a donated iPhone 6s, which after many replacement parts has been brought back from the dead (screen, button cable). I have repaired hundreds of iPhones, and never met a problem that couldn’t be solved by replacing parts. It works wonderfully, but there are two quirks that I am yet to work out: The power/sleep button is unresponsive, despite replacing the button cable.If the HOME button is held down the phone restarts, and sometimes goes into a boot loop. I have: Replaced the button cable
- reset it wiped itmanaged to get it into DFU mode (which baffles me, as I thought the power button didn’t work… maybe it works but doesn’t respond correctly?) and updated it Anyone fancy making any suggestions? It is not HUGELY important, but I am curious as to what might have happened here!
Have you tried using a original power button and not a cheap aftermarket one? What happens if you unplug the power button does it reboot while holding the home button? You might also have a bad fpc power button connector on the board!
Hey there, yes, I always use original Apple parts. Will try unplugging the power button, good suggestion… I think the connector is the most likely cause- although no water indicators have been set off I am convinced there has been some kind of ingress- there is residue around the button connector… Will get get back to you!
