Surprised I was able to find the part in 2020. Decided to repair this as a challenge to see how far I can take my tinkering skills. With these instructional pictures/videos/youtube it is almost too easy. Only thing I will mention is that if you do decide to do this; it is to get the whole home button with the plastic piece assembled all together. I opted for the slightly cheaper option of just the electronic push button component, because of this there is a risk factor of not glueing the replacement part into place correctly. I believe I was slightly off OEM standards and was concerned about cable damage but it was good enough to hold and work. Hopefully it will last for another 7 years :)
