Error 53 with original Touch ID sensor

Hi,

I own an iPhone 6 with iOS version 9.2

Lately it has been experiencing issues with Touch ID, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't. and by "working" I don't mean recognizing my fingers, but actually sensing fingers, it didn't even recognize double tap to lower the screen display.


I upgraded to 9.2.1 and Touch ID stopped working all together. Then I downgraded to 9.2 and Touch ID started working properly again.

Several days had past and it stopped working all together. I tried to upgrade but now my iPhone encounters error 53 and I can't use it.

I don't live in a country that has an official Apple Store. My Touch ID is original, I only fixed my iPhone screen once when it broke at my carrier's lab.


This is RIDICULOUS.

Anyone can share an helpful advice?


Thanks in advance.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2.1, Touch ID
