Is there any steps to be done on the software side? I did the replacement but I cannot see an option to setup fingerprint unlock.
Hi Moe,
The fingerprint sensor setup should still remain the same. If you can’t any software setup option, it may mean that the phone doesn’t detect the fingerprint sensor hardware. Look over step 9 and carefully check that the connector is fully seated.
My NFC stopped working at the same time as the fingerprint sensor, because I accidentally broke the fingerprint sensor flexcable when replacing the battery.
I've now replaced the fingerprint sensor and flexcable, and it's working again -- but the NFC still doesn't work. I have no idea what to try next!
Hi Lisa!
The NFC and wireless coil attaches to the phone with spring contacts. I'd suggest checking if the contact pads clean and correctly aligned. Here's a step depicting them. Since they're spring contacts, they also require some force to keep them connected to the phone. If you have the back cover open, you can press against the area where the spring contacts are as you test to see if it's a contact issue.
