Title	iPad 9 Button Control Cable Replacement
Introduction	Use this guide to replace the button control cable in your iPad 9. The button control cable has the lock button and volume buttons integrated within it. You’ll need to replace the entire cable if any of those buttons are malfunctioning. ***For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your iPad.*** This reduces the risk of fire 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]]. 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.
