iPad Mini: iPad Mini Home Button Not Working After Digitizer Replacement

Sat, 08 Dec 2018 04:20:00 -0700

Replaced an iPad Mini digitizer today and all seemed to be ok prior to putting the actual digitizer on.

But after putting the digitizer back on, the home button does not work, or to be more accurate, it always thinks it's pressed.

We tested the home button prior to putting the digitizer back on and it was working. For some reason the iPad thinks the home button is always depressed (if you press the power button, it takes a snapshot).

Any ideas?

iPad 3 4G: NEW IPad 3 4G touch not responding after digitizer replacement

Sun, 20 Oct 2019 12:31:50 -0700

Hey Guys,

I replaced the digitizer on a New iPad 64gb 3G and the touch has stopped working. I even tested the old digitizer and other replacement digitizers without success. I do not understand what has happened as i regularly replace iPad 2 screens without any issues. Has anybody successfully replaced new iPad Screens? because i cannot find any examples or solutions online

Thu, 10 Sep 2020 04:10:58 -0700

Hello iFixit experts

It may be early to ask

But I would love to have your opinion

Whether the new " ipad air 2 "

Glass screen would be replaceable or not

You know they are now one layer with no

Space between glass and touch screen

Would really appreciate your expectation

Thanks

iPad Pro: Where are the sleep/wake magnets?

Mon, 16 Nov 2020 15:02:05 -0700

Anyone know where the sleep/wake magnets are located on the iPad Pro? I went through a few cases till I found one I really like, but it doesn't have the sleep/wake function. I added magnets to my iPad air case and was hoping to do the same with this one.

I was hoping ifixit had done a teardown of the smart cover, but I didn't see one, at least not yet.

So....anyone know where to put magnets for the sleep/wake function?

iPad Air Wi-Fi: Home button feels sunk in and sticks

Fri, 17 Nov 2017 16:58:23 -0700

I replaced the screen on my first iPad Air ever. Before closing it up I did the usual QA check. And after closing it up I did it again. All was well on my bench. Two days later the customer contacts me to tell me that the home button was sunkin and sticking. Sure enough when he brings it back to me, it's sunk. I removed the screen and compared it to the old one (which thankfully I had not tossed yet) and there was a missing cushion. I replaced the cushion and sealed it again. I test it and it works fine. Call the guy to come get it and show it to him while he is there.

He calls me an hour or so later and says it still has the same problem. So I offer to replace the screen at no cost to hime. I order from a different company and make sure that I odrdered the screen with home button installed!!!!

I put the new screen in and transfer the cushion. Sure enough after a day of usage, the fellow calls me AGAIN and says the same thing is happening.

I know this person, not that well, but we travel in the same circles so I know he's not putting one over on me or anything like that. The problem is legit.

Anyone else have such a problem with an iPad Air? What did you do to resolve it?

Thanks,

Norm

iPad Air Wi-Fi: Dark spots on left side of LCD from top to bottom?

Thu, 14 Jan 2021 19:03:21 -0700

Dark spots on left side of LCD from top to bottom evenly spaced? They are not lines, its not a broken lcd, and its not a faulty lcd, a new one has the same spots. My only guess is maybe a backlight fuse? but the other 99% of the lcd is fine. It looks like only part of the back light is not lighting up. They are spaced about 1cm apart and go no deeper than 1cm into the lcd from the frame. And all the dark spots are identicle. Thanks! second time ive seen this, and anyone that can repair it?

Thu, 24 Aug 2023 17:59:27 -0700

Hey, I recently got a ipad pro for my birthday, and I hadn't really set anything up all I did was create an apple account and set up touch security. The day after I tried to use my ipad but my finger was not recognised and i'd forgotten the passcode i'd used as I set it up late, so the ipad told my to connected to itunes and erase the data. But my ipad is not connected to the wifi and I have tried to access my icloud but says my acount is not connected to a device, and I have tried to pull the lower tab to connect wifi but theres not tab and i'm really confused on what to do next and I dont really want to have to pay for someone to fix it, but i will as a last resort, and advice is helpful

iPad 2: Replaced iPad battery but now it is stuck in a boot loop.

Thu, 07 May 2026 11:49:12 -0700

I replaced the battery of my iPad 2 with the new iFixit one but now it is stuck in a boot loop. I tried my old battery and it shows a low battery sign but the new battery just puts the iPad in boot loop. I tried the Home button + power button reboot thing but it didn't work. Could it be that the new battery might be faulty?

Thanks for any help :)
