Title
iPad Pro 12.9" 2nd gen Home Button Replacement
Introduction
Use this guide to replace the home button in a 12.9" iPad Pro.
The original home button is uniquely paired to the logic board at the factory. If you replace the home button, Touch ID will not function.
The home button attaches to the screen with an adhesive gasket. You’ll need some liquid adhesive to glue the home button to the display.
Parts of this guide were shot with a Wi-Fi model and as such, the internals may look slightly different from the LTE model. The procedure is the same for both models except where noted.

Conclusion
If possible, turn on your device and test your repair before installing new adhesive and resealing.
Compare your new replacement part to the original part—you may need to transfer remaining components or remove adhesive backings from the new part before installing.
***To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.***
Take your e-waste to an [[E-Waste|R2 or e-Stewards certified recycler|new_window=true]].
