Hi All, Just replaced a digitizer on an iPad 5 (2017 model). All went fine, was very careful. Home Button assembly hasn’t been damaged ….. but now the home button will not wake the iPad from sleep? If I wake up the iPad from sleep using the power button, the home button works 100% , as both a button and the Touch ID - 100% functionality. Any ideas why it won’t work to wake the iPad up though? Thanks Alex
My thoughts point towards the magnet sensor that senses a magnet inside a case, telling the iPad to wake up if you uncover the screen. I never checked the schematics for that but considering the symptoms of your issue i guess they share the same circuit. This sensor is soldered on and should be removed and replaced to the new assembly with a heat gun or something like that.
