The home button doesn't work, probably fried it, what next?

Heyo,

So, I repair phones for my fellow classmates and friends. Today I got an iPhone 6 with a cracked screen. I replaced the screen in about 45 minutes. While I was transferring the shield plate to the new screen, I was thinking to myself. "This repair can't go smooth.". Then I noticed that the battery wasn't disconnected (The phone was off though). After I slapped myself in the face for being so stupid, I disconnected it and continued with the screen transfer. When I connected everything up again and booted the device back on, "Touch ID Could not be enabled". I knew I was in a lot of trouble at this point, the home button wasn't working either. My guess is that I fried the little home button circuit board when I unplugged it with the battery still connected, and then shorted out the poor thing. What can I try to potentially fix it? What should I do/tell the customer? Should I let apple replace the home button with me leaving no profit? or is that unnecessary?

Thanks

-Jort

I don't think the Home Button died because of the battery being connected. It's possible but usually it's the backlight circuit that will blow, not the Mesa circuit (Home Button Power).

What probably happened is that you accidentally tore the Home Button Flex or damaged the Home Button Link flex (the one that runs underneath the heat shield. If the HB flex tore, you're in trouble but if the link flex is torn or has a damaged connector, that is easy to replace.

Sadly, this wasn't the problem. I transferred the shield plate from another iPhone 6 to the broken one and this still didn't fix it. Are there any other solutions except for going to apple?

You can just replace the home button on the 6 / 6S. The only downside is touch ID (fingerprint scan) will not work but you can still use the standard home button pressing to go out of apps / etc.

@benjamen50 I know that, but I want to keep it. It's weird when you do a screen replacement for a customer and break their phone AND charge them for breaking it.
