Introduction |
Use this guide to replace a defective home button or to transfer the home button in the 10.5” iPad Pro onto a new display assembly. | | '''Replacing the home button will not restore Touch ID function. The Touch ID fingerprint scanner in the home button is paired to the iPad's logic board.''' In order to maintain Touch ID functionality, if you replace the screen, you must carefully transfer your original home button to the new display assembly. | | You’ll need '''replacement adhesive''' to reattach components when reassembling the device. | | '''Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it.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.''' |
