Why hello there.
My name is Scott, aka Scotty, aka the Ocean King with lots of Seashell Bling (I may or may not have made that last one up...).
I work at iFixit as someone who breaks things and sometimes gets them back together in working order.
I graduated from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo (better known as SLO by just about everyone) and tried to leave SLO. SLO didn't like that and sucked me right back in. Here I am over my favorite place:
I studied Biomedical Engineering and have a soft spot for the human body and electronics (An odd combo, but my mother always told me opposites attract). I've done some cool work in embedded systems that tie into human physiology. It's some pretty neat stuff if I do say so myself.
Outside of ifixit I play around in the outdoors (namely hiking, surfing, backpacking, skiing, and anything fun). I love art. And I have a serious fear of missing out...
I also work as an ocean lifeguard at Avila Beach during the summer! If you are ever there, swing by the tower and say hello! Here are some of my fellow lifesavers after paddling from Avila to Pismo:

Hi Joan! If I am understanding your question correctly, disabling the fingerprint passcode prior to repair WILL NOT result in Touch ID working after the repair. You should look at Jeff Suovanen's comment at the bottom, as he explains the two ways to keep Touch ID working. In order to keep Touch ID working, you will need to find a logic board that is paired with the home button and replace both of those components.
Hi Elve! Although I have never tried to put a 2016 Retina Macbook logic board into a Retina Macbook from 2015, I imagine it will not work. Usually the chipset on the logic board is very specific for the periphery hardware (i.e. daughter boards and components). The logic board is also usually coupled with specific firmware that couples with the chips and components of the year it was built for, and will probably not behave properly when put into a "new home". This all being said, there is only one real way to find out! You should let us know if you give it a try.
Use this guide to help you remove the stripped screw. It may take some research to find a replacement screw, however a quick Google search did reveal some options for me. Good luck!
Hi all. Although I cannot say for certain whether or not this will work as I have never done it personally, there is a large amount of information on the internet that suggests it will work. Most information says that it performance will suffer as a result of running the MacBook without a battery. I looked at this Apple forum link and "Is it safe to use MacBook Air without the battery?" from iFixit to find my information.
If your tri-wing screwdriver worked for other tri-point screws in the phone, then it should work for the screws you are struggling with! If it feels like the screws are spinning but not coming out, try to use tweezers to pull them out. I often struggle with tri-point screws, and need to apply some downward pressure to remove them. This can be risky though, as you do not want to strip the screw or damage components underneath the bracket. If you continue to struggle, you can give this driver and this bit a try.
Hey Calvin. Unfortunately that part is actually a flexible circuit. Superglue unfortunately will not restore the ability for current to travel through the cable, as superglue doesn't conduct. I imagine the device is safe to use, however the device will not work. If you do power it on, I would monitor the device to see if heat is being generated, as this can be dangerous. You will need to find an intact cable to replace the broken one, though, to restore the device to working order.
Hey Lou! Follow this guide to clone your old hard drive's information onto your new one.
iFixit takes the utmost caution when removing EMI shields, but given this components proximity to the EMI shield's solder pads, it is likely that the capacitor was knocked off during disassembly.
Hello Julien,
It will not click, but it will need about the same amount of force to push it in as the amount needed to pull it out. This being said, you should check the battery connector for any debris, and look at all the pins to make sure nothing is broken. Let us know if you succeed!
Scott
Hello Ambrish,
Unfortunately replacing the home button on the iPhone 6 Plus renders the Touch ID functionality useless. Jeff Suovanen replied with an excellent answer on this topic a couple of comments above this one.
