iPad 9 Home Button Assembly Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the home button assembly in your iPad 9.
Note: this guide is for the Wi-Fi version only. For the LTE version, click [[Topic:iPad LTE|here|new_window=true]].
***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.***
***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.
