iPhone 7 Plus Touch ID Broken

Got an iPhone 7 Plus came in yesterday with problem below.
  • Home button not working
  • Touch ID failed
  • Long time booting up / Slow startup at Apple Logo.
By having those problem above.. we already knew the Home button itself is damaged or flex broken.

Indeed, as we expect. Customer replaced the LCD screen from some where else. After he replaced the screen, the button became not working and having those problem above.

We open up and check the home button flex. Yup. It's confirm broken.


Note: Phone 7, 7 Plus, 8, 8 Plus, X, We CANNOT replace it with other button. Home button and Touch ID both won't work!  
If iPhone older iPhone, we still can replace the button, but you will still lost the Touch ID. 


So it's the best let us must repair it back! No short-cut!

This spot is very easily broken by amateur repairer who replace the screen. 

In Malaysia, Now i'm sure this job is very few people can do. But i can!

Our academy G-LON company invented this Home Button Repair Kit.

First step: We cut it nicely. (DO NOT OVER CUT)

2nd Step: We taped on a plate and prepare to peel off the protection layer.

Carefully peeling off.. ONE MISTAKE THEN THIS BUTTON WILL BE GONE.


Step 3: Slowly keep peeling off first layer and expose those all trace which we need to connect all.
Then apply the replacement kit on exactly top of it.

Done!! Careful install back everything. 

Seems easy?
It won't be easy if technician not have precise skill and experience. 
Send to our shop before someone permanent destroy it by failing attempt repair on this.

Dealers are welcome - iPhone 6 Backlight IC pads broken

Don't think we just only accept end user or customer.

Dealers are welcome too. Even you are my competitor, we can repair those in private.
So if you are dealer or repairer, you can send to us if you have any failed repaired iPhone.


We repaired many dealers's mistake.
One of the most common job to repair other people mistake are on following photos.

Backlight IC of iPhone 6. There should be 12 solder pads. Every pads is very important and cannot be missing. 


Backlight IC of iPhone 6 (U1502) is located at very near A8 CPU.
Tips: If you having display problem, don't suspect the IC first.

This case is usually happened on untrained technician. They were try to remove it by not using too hot which might damaged the CPU. But unlucky happened for this guy.. when he pulled the IC up, the pads are gone with the IC. Because by using wrong temperature, the pads below are not melted yet..

It is out of their league to repair it back. They googled and found us.
After I look at the damaged and told them no problem, piece of cake.

All the pads are rebuilt.
U1502 pads repaired.
Dealer collected it on the same day he sent in. 


As long don't cause more damage, we can quote a fair price for dealer.
Even if you send in the iPhone which you think it's beyond repair. We STILL CAN repair it, but will be expensive because last solution is we transplant the CPU and memory into new board.
