Ripped iPhone 6 Plus home button flex cable during screen repair, solder?
Hey guys,
Tonight I was unsticking the flex cable on the home button during a repair and my tool slipped and sliced the home button flex:
Does anyone have any experience with this type of catastrophe? I know the home button can not simply be swapped out as this will sacrifice functionality, and complete usability of the phone should an update ever be performed.
I read elsewhere that micro level soldering could be performed, but given the width of the flex cable I'm just not certain it's even worth attempting.
Please someone end my suffering.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Did you manage to solder it? I have absolutely the same problem and I can't find a solution? The only solution that will not lead to Error 53 is either to solder the flex cable or to buy new original home button and motherboard as in iphone 6 the home button and the motherboard are married.

You can't solder a flex cable like that.

He can't solder the flex cable like that.. but he can solder the ic chip that is on the home button, where it connects to cable that goes to the motherboard. Would have to be very good at soldering. Thoughts, and let's assume iPhone 7 and 7+ as well..
