The iPhone is known for its durable home button and longer lifespan compared to previous models. However, due to extensive usage, users encounter issues like a loose Home button or erratic power button operation.
In our previous article, we guided users on how to enable the virtual home button on the iPhone as a substitute for the physical home button to avoid instances of it getting stuck or even breaking during use.
GUIDE: FIXING STUCK IPHONE HOME BUTTON
The article provided by Mytour.vn today will assist you in addressing the issue of a stuck iPhone home button for self-repair. If your device is still under warranty, you can visit an Apple store. Otherwise, for cases where your warranty has expired and the physical Home button is faulty, you can employ the following methods:
Inspect your device's software to troubleshoot the home button issue. Open the clock app. Hold the power button until the 'Power off' option appears. Release the power button and hold down the home button for about 10 seconds. If the clock app closes, you've resolved the problem.
Check and adjust the connection port.
If the first method doesn't work, examine and adjust the connection port on your iPhone. It's possible the port is misaligned, causing the home button to malfunction. Plug the USB cable into the device and gently adjust the connection port. Then, remove the cable and try opening any app, press a button, and then press the home button to see if the issue is resolved.
Clean the home button thoroughly.
If using the previous methods doesn't work, you should clean the home button. It might be dirty or obstructed, causing it to malfunction. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab lightly dampened with alcohol to clean around the home button. After cleaning, try pressing the button again to check if the problem persists.
Dust accumulation can lead to the unresponsiveness of iPhone 6's Home button. To resolve this issue, apply a small amount of rubbing alcohol around the Home button (be cautious not to apply it to the screen). Then, use a sharp toothpick wrapped with a bit of cotton or a small piece of cloth to gently clean around the edges of the Home button. After cleaning, allow the alcohol to dry for about 10 minutes before turning on the device for a check-up.
