Touch ID no longer working
I had my screen replaced on my iPhone 5s back in August. Gradually the Touch ID stopped working.
It worked no problem when I got the phone back and was fine for a few weeks but gradually got worse and now is not working at all.
I tried a reset, hard reset and restore to no avail. I have cleaned it with isopropyl alcohol and screen cleaners etc etc, nothing worked.
I have since got an iPhone 6 so no longer use the phone, however I would like to sell the phone and would like the Touch ID to be operational. I've opened up the phone to check for a loose cable, nothing, everything seems fine, I haven't removed the home button as I don't have the confidence for this yet.
The 6 registers my fingerprint no problem but the 5s doesn't register my own or my girlfriends finger. When I ask it to set up a new fingerprint it just doesn't even register that there is a finger on the home button.
Any advice anyone? Thanks in advance.

Es esta una buena pregunta?

Hold on a second. Does it say Touch ID failed, in settings?

When I try to add a fingerprint you mean?

Yeah. In settings

It doesn't say failed or anything, it's just waiting for me to put my finger on the home button.
Like so:
