Introdução
Follow the steps in this guide to replace the home button assembly in an iPad 5 Wi-Fi.
Note that the Touch ID sensor in the home button is paired to its respective logic board, so replacing the home button will result in loss of Touch ID functionality.
Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. If you choose to complete the guide without isolating the battery, avoid using metal tools except when completely necessary (like when removing screws) to prevent shorting the battery and damaging sensitive circuit components.
Ferramentas
-
-
-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.
-
-
-
Take the first pick you inserted and slide it up toward the top corner of the iPad.
-
If you can see the tip of the opening pick through the front glass, don't panic—just pull the pick out just a little bit. Most likely, everything will be fine, but try to avoid this as it may deposit adhesive on the front of the LCD that is difficult to clean off.
-
-
-
Slide the lower left pick to the lower left corner to cut the adhesive on that corner.
-
Leave the pick at the corner. Do not pry any farther, and do not remove the pick from the iPad.
-
The following steps will direct you where to pry to avoid damage to these components. Only apply heat and pry where directed.
-
-
-
-
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the LCD out of its recess just enough to grab it with your fingers.
-
Flip the iPad LCD like a page in a book, lifting near the camera and turning it over the home button end of the rear case.
-
Lay the LCD on its face to allow access to the display cables.
-
-
-
Remove the single 2.3 mm Phillips screw securing the battery connector to the logic board.
-
Slide the battery blocker underneath the battery connector area of the logic board, and leave it in place while you work.
-
-
-
Remove any tape covering the home button ribbon cable connector.
-
-
-
Remove the front panel assembly.
-
If you experience "ghost" or "phantom" touch input issues with your new display, this can be resolved by adding a layer of very thin insulating tape, such as Kapton (polyimide) tape, to the highlighted areas on the back of the panel. iFixit panels come with the proper insulation, and should not require the addition of any tape.
-
-
-
Gently begin peeling the home button cable off the back of the front panel.
-
Continue peeling until you reach the metal shield on the cable.
-

Hi. What happens if home button cable is broken? Can i use a home button from an ipad air 1?
The iPad 5 home button bracket that you order seems to be different from the original one I took off the iPad. Has anyone else noticed this? I also can’t get the button to work correctly with the new bracket.
yes i just ran across this. If seems the ones that come pre equipped are different. when attached i could not get it to respond back to home.. Touch id i get but no return to home im stumped on. ivfe just purchased the replacement home button to find that it seems a bit off aswell. The rear holding bracket doesnt seem to press against the button allowing you to push it back thru from the front of the ipad. I will update further once i complete this job. BR
