Title
iPad 7 Home Button Assembly Replacement
Introduction
Follow this guide to remove or replace the home button assembly in an iPad 7 for both Wi-Fi only and Cellular models.
'''The home button’s Touch ID sensor is paired to the logic board. Replacing the home button will result in the loss of Touch ID functionality.'''
Be very careful when you isolate the battery using a battery blocker. The battery contacts are easily damaged, resulting in irreversible damage. 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.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
