We have a similar problem in our repair shop. IPAD 4 Home flex broken upon removal.
The flex has what looks like a small copper wire running through the middle which attaches to four solder contact points on the home button switch.
We believe this middle copper wire is the negative as it runs to the edge of the contact on the motherboard however we cannot confirm that as we also don't know the positive connection.
It would be an easy job if you could identify both positive and negative but in this case its not that easy.
Any idea?

I will let you know how I get on. I believe they only sell to computer repairs businesses so this is also good as we have a shop.
