Hey guys,
I have a friend who has an iphone who's home button has stopped working.
I read online that as a last resort (before opening the device) people have tried pressing and spinning the home button to get the button free'd from whatever may be binding it.
I was thinking, well if the button is soldered in place it may be stationary and spinning it may de-solder any of the remaining solder that MIGHT be left making contact, if i did this.
But its also possible that the button sits on top of a plastic sheath that makes contact with the PCB so spinning it may not do any harm at all.
Can anyone tell me if the button is hard-soldered to the PCB and/or if spinning the home button as a last resort is a good idea?
