iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi Volume Control Buttons Replacement
Introduction
Follow this guide to remove or replace the volume control buttons on an iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi. You may need to do this repair if the volume buttons have stopped working.
Note that this guide is for replacing the volume control buttons cable and switches, not the external volume button faces.
'''For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device.''' This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair.
