''Follow the steps in this guide to replaceremove or transfer the home/Touch ID sensor assembly, including the gasket and cable, in your iPhone 7 Plus.''
''Note that for security reasons, the original Touch ID sensor is paired to your iPhone's logic board at the factory—so, replacing the sensor with a new one will cause the loss of fingerprint sensor functions.''
'' To avoid accidentally straining or tearing the display cables, it's best to completely detach the display assembly before beginning repairs on the home/Touch ID sensor. But if you are comfortable doing so, you may skip the display assembly section of this guide and go straight to the home/Touch ID sensor section.'' |
