Product Description

✦ For OnePlus 5T Fingerprint Reader Button (Black)

The fingerprint reader button on the OnePlus 5T is what lets the phone read your finger for unlocking and approvals. This listing is a replacement fingerprint reader button for the OnePlus 5T, in Black, for handsets where the fingerprint function has stopped responding or the part has been damaged.

Getting to it means opening the OnePlus 5T with heat and careful prying, so this part is mostly bought by repair shops and confident DIY repairers.

Signs Your Fingerprint Sensor Needs Replacing

  • Fingerprints are no longer recognised or cannot be registered.
  • The phone reports that the fingerprint hardware is unavailable.
  • The sensor surface is cracked, scratched or loose.
  • The home or power key built into the sensor does not click (if your model has one).
  • Note: on many phones the sensor is paired to the main board, so a replacement sensor may restore the button but not fingerprint unlock.

⚠️ Important — Please Read Before Purchase
  • This listing is for the fingerprint reader button only. Contact us to confirm anything else you expect with it.
  • The OnePlus 5T has to be opened to fit it, so professional installation is recommended if you have not done it before.
  • Handle the fingerprint reader button gently and disconnect the battery before you work on the OnePlus 5T.
  • Fingerprint hardware can be paired to the main board on some phones, so a replacement may fix the physical part without restoring fingerprint unlock on the OnePlus 5T.
  • Replacement parts are model-specific — check that your device matches the model shown above before ordering.
  • Professional fitting is recommended where the device has to be opened; flex cables and connectors are easily damaged.
  • Test the part before sealing the device or applying new adhesive.
  • If you are unsure which part you need, contact us with your model number before ordering.
Your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 remain unaffected for faulty or not-as-described items.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fingerprint reader button fit the OnePlus 5T?

This listing is for the OnePlus 5T. Check your model number under Settings › About phone before ordering, because fingerprint reader buttons differ between models that look alike.

How do I know the OnePlus 5T fingerprint reader button needs replacing?

On the OnePlus 5T a failed fingerprint reader button typically shows as fingerprints not being recognised, the reader not responding at all, or visible damage where the reader sits. Try re-registering your fingerprints first to rule out a software fault.

Do I need to open the OnePlus 5T to fit this fingerprint reader button?

Yes. The fingerprint reader button is inside the OnePlus 5T, so the phone has to be opened with heat and careful prying before you can reach it. Professional installation is recommended if you have not opened a phone before.

What is supplied with the OnePlus 5T fingerprint reader button?

This listing is for the OnePlus 5T fingerprint reader button in Black. Contact us if you need to confirm anything else before ordering.

Will fingerprint unlock work again on the OnePlus 5T after replacing the fingerprint reader button?

It may, but it is not certain. On some phones the fingerprint hardware is paired to the main board, so a replacement can restore the physical part on the OnePlus 5T without bringing back biometric unlock. Contact us before ordering if that concerns you.
