If the home button on your Samsung Galaxy J3 phone is sticking or no longer working, you may need to remove and replace the home button.

Sometimes, problems with the home button can be solved without needing to remove the button entirely. The troubleshooting page for the Samsung Galaxy J3 offers solutions to common issues with the phone. If you determine that you will need to remove and replace the home button, follow the steps of this guide.

Before you begin, make sure your phone is disconnected from any external power source and is powered off completely.

NEVER NEVER do this!!!! In the last picture I can see the LCD broken apart!!! You may never open an J3 like this, because the LCD screen will brake and this is what happen in the last 2 pictures, this man separated the screen in 2 parts and now the screen does not work. Check some videos in youtube and you will know what I am saying.

you see, you clearly know nothing about phones, because the last picture shows nothing resembling a broken lcd. however, there is a much simpler way of doing this and he did take an over-complicated approach. sidenote: if you use youtube for your information instead of guides by professionals, you have some issues.
