Replacement Touch ID Sensor

[lumencreative]

I have had to replace the screen assembly on my iPhone 5S as the cables between the screen and logic board ripped.

I was advised that the TouchID sensor would not work as the original one is tied to the logic board, and the cable for that snapped too, so I was just wondering is there a way to get a replacement TouchID sensor working?

As far as i know, there is not a way.

i think if you do full erase with old sensor connected, then replace the sensor assembly button (with the glass part) it should work.
if cables on old one are ripped it won't work i think.

That is not true. A replacement touchid sensor will work just fine.

Who told u that the sensor was tied with the logic board? The finger print sample is saved on the board but not tied to it.

It's all over the Internet that the TouchID sensor is tied to a specific part of the A7 chip and only the original TouchID sensor will work.

Apple doesn't make specific mention of any other additional safeguards. However, as we discovered through some research and testing of our own, it seems as though Apple went through the trouble of pairing every individual Touch ID sensor cable to each individual phone as well.
