Smartcover activating from back of device after repair

I am having an issue that has now showed up on both iPad Air and iPad Mini.

After digitizer replacement - it seems the magnetic sensor are TOO sensitive. This means that when opening your smartcover - thereby pushing it to the back of the device - it now activates On/Off functionality.

So far I have only seen this with Air and Mini but it's getting more frequent. Any input here is appreciated.

Hi did you end up managing to fix this problem? Im having the same issue :(

Unfortunately I did not fix it with that digitizer. I ordered another digitizer from another company and the issue was gone.

Hi Mikkel Rasmussen,

I have finally encountered one of these faults in the wild. My thoughts immediately went to the magnetic wake sensor.

Essentially your intuition is right on the money: replacing the sensor is the solution. Alternatively fitting a complete glass and digitizer assembly that comes with the magnetic wake sensor is what I would advise for those who want a time effective solution. Though replacing the sensor itself is probably the most profitable solution.

I hope this helps :)

Where is the sensor located?
