Does this mean you can buy a replacement home button and take the U10 chip from ripped original home button and transfer it to the replacement?

hello there, My home button is orijinal and working fine with my old screen, I have replaced the screen (original one) and with that screen it isnot working. touch id and the button. Is there any way to replace the ribbon cable in the screen itself?

Doctor Éver Cázares - Oct 18, 2021

Yes, you can replace the backlight / 3D Touch / Touch ID panel in the Display assembly. https://youtu.be/6XMA-hGIqys

It’s not as hard as refurbish an original touch ID flex cable, but certainly harder than replacing the hole display assembly.
