Step Lines

[* black] Open the phone just enough to reveal the metal bracket covering the home button cable.
-[* icon_caution] Do not open the phone too far or you risk damaging the home button cable.
+[* icon_caution] Do not open the phone too far or you risk damaging the home button cable, or the socket it plugs into. ***Keep the cable loose—if it is stretched taut, that's too far.***
[* black] Only the phone's original home button assembly will be capable of using the Touch ID functionality. ***If you rip the cable, installing a new home button will only restore ordinary home button functions, not the Touch ID features.***
[* black] Use the tip of a spudger to push the bracket free and remove it with tweezers.
