Power & home button not working after battery replacement

I received my replacement battery today, and after getting it installed, I immediately noticed that the power and home buttons are no longer working.

"Check if the two golden pins on your dock connector are nicely 'up'. They have to connect with the home button assembly on your screen. About the power button, you probably damaged the cable somehow with disassembly. The only way to fix this is to replace the cable.

Good luck,

Hi Jordan it's component damage on the motherboard from either prying on the motherboard side or you have knocked a componant off when unclipping battery there's a few just below that

"I had the same problem that home button is not working after battery replacement. I thought it was damaged during the prying process. I even tried to reconnect the LED screen cable.

In the end, it was really caused by two bottom gold color pins not having a solid contact with home button metal contact. You can see the two pins at the bottom. I bent the metal pins so that it has solid contact.

After I bent those pins and put it back, home button works perfectly !

Defiantly pry damage look to the right of the batter connecter you will have broken off components on the board there is a component there that controls the power button and home button
