E'llo.

Home Button not working on iPhone. Tried restore but nada.

Am just going to buy a new 3GS but just thought i'd check if anyone had any success repairing it?

At the moment i'm just command lining it but obviously no good on the go!

Can't take it to the "Genious Bar" as there is a crack where the dock connector is. It cracked on like the first week. Sucks.

Cheers me dears. :eek:

Remember an article somewhere online that a guy had ever reducing ability to press his home button, took it apart and was clogged up with dust + crap because apparantly there isnt a proper sealing ring to stop stuff getting in.

They /are/ possible to take apart and it might be something simple, or it might not be, someone else will have more exp on this though

Yeah Cheers. Need to find a small enough Screwdriver to get into the actual thing.

The dock connector crack is a known fault. If you take it to your nearest Apple store they should give you a new one on the spot.
