FIX for iPod Touch Home Button

yeeha just done this on a ipod touch 4th gen and it worked a treat.....Thanks😀

Which type of alcohol do I use to fix my home button?

I used some type of machine oil. I suppose lamp oil would do too.

😟

ANY type of oil will ruin your electronics.

It turns out my home button was stuck.I got in unstuck by taking a needle aound the edges and gently pushing it upwards.It clicks and works fine now.

My home button will not work when I push it will this fix it?

Ok, I'm going to take it to a third party. Thanks 🙂

That helped me. It still sticks a bit, but is better than before.

This was super helpful, thanks. I used a Qtip to apply the alcohol and I had to work the home button a lot. I could hear grit under it, but after awhile it started working!

Exactly!!

Would nail polish remover work as well ? Cause my ipod also dropped and the home button is jammed

Under no circumstances should you use nail polish remover.

If the home button is jammed because you dropped it, parts are broken/bent and any liquid will not fix it.

I did this but I was still learning and now my Ipod 5th Gen is Jacked Up! I used YouTube and they were not as good at explaining as your were.:(😢😢
