We had a lot of requests for this repair, so it's finally here!

A broken or unresponsive home button on your iPhone 4 can be really annoying because it's practically the only button on the phone. In this video we show you how to replace the home button on a GSM iPhone 4. The repair is similar for the CDMA version, but either way make sure you follow the step by step guide on our site when you're performing your repair.

  • Hi, I'm having trouble replacing home button on my iPod Touch 1G because it got stuck. Any idea how to replace it? I know the components are different from iPhone

  • is she married? i think so...

  • U are so sexy..XD

  • I tried this out yesterday. Not every required screw is explained and shown in the video, but it was still VERY helpful. It only took me about 30 minutes to disassemble the iPhone. After checking the putatively defect home button (it was just jammed behind the display) I needed over 2 hours to put the logic board back in place! I lost my temper more than once :-)

    Everything's fine now, the "old" home button is working again. Thank's to iFixit!

  • only an hour? that shit will take me weeks...

  • Oh WOW! I think I'll just get a new iPhone! It's so complicated!!

  • Va fan, kasta skiten!

  • if a blonde girld did that i guess my dog can do it too :D

  • Wow am I thinking about that 80's hit " Hot For Teacher", lol!!! Thanks for the vid, very well done.
