[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1775762, member: 234411"] Well, I'm not sure if you checked the links in my post, but a pic below from the first one discussing a potential reason why an 'Apple Repair' is needed to restore the ID Touch w/ a Home button repair - seems that Apple has uniquely linked the ID sensor (chip?) w/ the specific device and are the only ones that can revive that relationship; SO, if you want to restore the touch ID, then you likely will have to get an estimate from Apple. As to selling your old iPhone, you certainly would need a functional Home button, thus likely a 'must' repair - if offered at a fair price, then the potential purchaser may not care about the touch ID? Just a guess - good luck. Dave :) [ATTACH=FULL]27366[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
