Introduction |
Follow this guide to replace the screen and digitizer on an iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi. You may need to do this if the screen is cracked or has stopped working. | | | This guide also shows how to transfer the original home button and magnetic sensor to the replacement part. | | '''Note that only the iPad’s original home button assembly will be capable of Touch ID functionality.''' If you would like to maintain Touch ID functionality, you’ll need to transfer your original home button assembly to the new display assemblyscreen. | | '''Some replacement display assembliesscreens don't come with a magnetic sensor installed.''' Without a magnetic sensor, the iPad won’t be able to sleep and wake when using a Smart Cover. It may also cause the power button to not be able to sleep and wake the iPad. AssistiveTouch may also lose its sleep and wake functionality. Without a magnetic sensor, holding down the power button to prompt the power off slider will still wake the screen. The home button will also still wake the screen. | | '''Transferring the magnetic sensor requires advanced soldering skills.''' The magnetic sensor cable is soldered to the display assemblyscreen. Make sure to follow '''[[Topic:Soldering#Section_Safety_Procedures|soldering safety procedures|new_window=true]]''' such as wearing eye protection, working in a well-ventilated area, and washing your hands with soap and water after soldering. | | | '''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. If your battery is swollen, [[What to do with a swollen battery|take appropriate precautions|new_window=true]]. | | | Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure. |
