Hello there,

So I accidentally dropped my iPhone around a week ago but the Switch Easy Capsule Rebel was on and it was a slight drop, like very very short distance and I am pretty sure it wasn't that hard. Thing is, now when ever I press the Home Button, I have to kind of press it hard in order for it to work, it doesn't work when I press it normally anymore.

I haven't tried any solutions because I don't know any, and replacing the home button or getting it fixed is NO option to me because I got no warranty, I am in Egypt, and here Apple Tradeline will take a hell lot of money just to fix that. They are already taking around $55 just replace the back for me. I bought a white 16GB back and I need to get it replaced but I don't know how to open the phone and do it so they said they can do it for me for $55 lol.

Thank you in advance and I will be waiting for suggestions.

BY THE WAY, I think I can open the phone by unscrewing the two screws on the bottom next to the microphone and speaker, then take the touch screen off, is that where the home button is located? Because I don't want to take the motherboard off or anything. And what shall I do if I open it like that? Thanks a lot.
