i have a phone with, i won’t say “shattered”, but physically damaged home button. there’s no visible damage to the screen itself, just the button. it just logo boot loops. i swapped out the entire display assembly (including camera and home button). then it boots up just fine - no Touch ID, but i was resigned to that figuring i’d have to replace the original button anyway. can a damaged home button or damaged screen (again no signs of visible damage, but there could be something internal) cause boot up issues? and if so, can those in-the-know share some of their wisdom and insights please? a “yes it can” while helpful, is not that helpful. Thanks in advance and Merry Christmas.
Yes, sometimes home button can cause bootloop when damaged, there must be short-circuit caused by its damage
