iPhone 3g & 3gs Home button, and LCD screen- step by step repair or replace - HD

iPhone 3g/3gs home button not working?
You have a bad home button ribbon cable.
I show you how to repair or replace it for the cost of a $7 dollar part. You will also learn how to replace the LCD screen and the glass. This is a common problem, the Ribbon Cable is very fragile and prone to failure.
I simply show you how i did it, and/OR HOW TO REPAIR yours if you don't want to replace it. Not selling anything, just giving back some info to youtube, that has given me a lot. If you have any DIY skills, you will fix your phone and save yourself some money. You can also learn how to replace your glass screen, digitizer/lcd in this slideshow.
Just pause as needed as you go along. The ipod touch repair will be similar. This is not a work-around, not an app, it is the actual repair or replace of the electro/mechanical home button. you must have some skills and energy to do this. All the parts are readily available on eBay. USA sellers offer the quickest shipping, although some hong kong sellers get stuff here in a week. If this helps you out, please comment or LIKE it. - Good Luck!

Hello all, I did pretty much a complete breakdown all the way before the heat gun step for the home button. I continue to get the white screen, and I was wondering, how does one know if it's simply a damaged housing or if they truly ruined their lcd? I can't identify any torn or damaged ribbon cables or dead pixels in the screen, but I also cannot hear any buttons or sounds when I touch the screen, leading me to believe it's the digitizer. Any thoughts?

@crailborn - White Screen sounds like LCD. I'd start there. You can buy the whole assembly with lcd and digitizer on ebay, or separately.

I broke the number 3 tab he was talking about on my 3G last year and sold it on ebay without a screen assembly or anything and got 74 bucks out of it. Damn near anything will sell on ebay so don't sweat it

Thank You. I was following another video and ran into problems but I found the answer on your video. It is done very well and easy to follow.

Don't do this, you are asking for a total disaster, you'll break your phone like I did mine. Now it's useless I don't think I can even sell it on eBay.

Hello! I wonder if the home button has the same size as the iPod Touch 4G? If yes i would like to buy a iPhone 4 white button to replace it

Great vid, I replaced my screen, digitizer and home button on my 3G. BUT when I did the home button my receiver/mic stopped working so people can't hear me on the phone. Any idea's on that? Looks like all my connections are solid.
