*Description*
If your iPhone 17 Pro Power button is stuck, won’t click, or won’t lock/wake the phone — or your Camera Control button is unresponsive, inconsistent, or not opening the Camera app — this step-by-step HowFixit guide shows the correct repair path: replace the side button flex cable and restore normal button function.
You’ll learn how to safely open the iPhone 17 Pro, disconnect the display and internal connectors, remove the cooling plate/battery assembly, access the logic board, and replace the Power + Camera Control button flex cable without tearing the touch-sensor lead. Then we’ll cover proper routing, screw placement, and how to confirm both buttons click and respond normally before final reassembly.
We also show testing after first boot and how to restore water resistance with new sealing adhesive.
