How to fix an iPhone 4s home button?

My brother dropped my iPhone, and I can't use the home button. Today, a good friend of mine was pushing it repeatedly in different places, on the sides, on the top and bottom, and he got it to work! I tried for myself and I as well got it to work. The problem is… I have to click on the far left side of the button, and most of the time I can't find it. How can I fix it without taking it anywhere to get it fixed?

Or you can use the assistive touch gestures until your upgrade (google it).

A surprising fix to this may be to use your charger and plug it into the dock, from there, firmly press it upwards (pressing the cable down, but the pins up towards the home button) - putting pressure on the home button flex. Do not overdue this, just try small, addling slight pressure, if no result, attempt a bit harder. This is the easiest fix as it presses the home button flex closer to the contacts, allowing to be pressed easier. Give it a shot!

  • Is there an iPhone app to go to the home screen? My Home button isn't working well? IIm afraid my home button will completely stop working soon enough, and i don't currently have money to replace it. I really only need the home function, but it would be really nice if it also had a screenshot function (because screenshots need the home + lock combo) Edit: If it makes any difference, my phone is an iPhone 3GS (old, lol) and has iOS 6.1.6.
