Again, as you may find yourself working with broken glass during this procedure, we strongly recommend wearing safety glasses for protection from flying shards. Yeah you should be fine, I prefer it when I see these types arrive. As long as the contacts are covered, and you dont pinch the cable. I had the same problem when installing a new digitizer with home button preinstalled. Having said that, since we pay extra for the screens with HB etc installed you would have thought that the manufacturers would have put a measly bit of tape on. Hey Andrew, yes I've encountered this problem.

Insert the tip of a plastic opening tool into the gap between the front glass and the plastic bezel. Just insert the very tip of the opening tool, just enough to widen the crack. It even works if its almost in the ipad mini housing, but as soon as the glass sits in, homebutton goes crazy. Tried the electrical tape hint didnt work out for me. @Francesco Marianucci I'm in a facebook group with that guy and he has great tutorials.

The home button assembly is attached to the front panel with some adhesive. The use of an iOpener to soften the adhesive is highly recommended. Without touching the front of the LCD, lift the LCD off the front panel.

Slide the pick along the front panel, towards the home button, to continue separating the home button ribbon cable from the front panel. Again, be sure to only slide the pick toward the center of the iPad when it is fully inserted; otherwise you may damage the antenna beneath the glass. Continue to slide the pick down the right edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive.

But you're going to want to be very careful as if you damage the turtle IC chip in the home button, you can't repair it and that's what I mean when you will lose touchID. That button is paired or programmed specifically to that device's board. Even if you had a genuine button from another device, it will tell you touchID cannot be verified.

We recommend that you clean your microwave before proceeding, as any nasty gunk on the bottom may end up stuck to the iOpener. I added another layer of adhesive as the ones with most are a bit more thin, also seating the glass a bit less flush. Activating and deactivating the screen lock when ipad is in a case.

Leave the picks in place, reheat, and reapply the iOpener to the problem areas, and run a pick through the sticking point one more time. If you need to slide the pick over the lower section more than once, remove it and re-insert at the outer edge, and slide inwards. Slide the opening pick around the top left corner of the iPad to separate the adhesive.

It may require some force to get the wedged tip of the opening tool between the glass and plastic. Work patiently and carefully, wiggling the plastic opening tool back and forth as necessary.

I've covered all the contacts with tape as instructed but even with the screen outside of the case still no joy.

The issue seemed to be with a set of contacts on the new digitizer, they had a piece of the orangey tape over them, which i removed. On the original, broken one, it had black fabric tape over the copper contacts. The contacts are to the left of the home button when looking at the back of the digitizer, they are both on the home button ribbon cable, one is rectangular and one is square. I put standard electrical tape over both of these and it appears to have fixed the problem.

Throughout the rest of the procedure, if you encounter significant resistance to sliding picks beneath the glass, stop and reheat the section you're working on. Don't insert the opening pick any deeper than the black bezel on the side of the display. Inserting the pick too far may damage the LCD.

Leave this pick in place to keep the adhesive from re-sealing itself, and grab a new pick for the next step. Leave the opening pick in the iPad slightly past the front-facing camera.

The solution is to put tape from one end of the LCD to the other at the bottom. My website is my user name nd email is lited there. The problem was there was a little support item sitting underneath which was out of place everytime we put the digitizer back on. My only advice is to keep trying to get the alignment right.

Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair. Please if you guys let me know where could I order an original quality digitizer..if that's even possible? Hi all, I followed the instruction here on ifixit.com and I can tell you that you guys are doing an amazing job. After trying to replace he digitizer for the first time and rushed the LCD removal a little bit, resulted in a cracked LCD. I ordered another one and went through complete tear down here and finally my iPad is fixed. When out of the iPad everything works as it should but when I place the digitizer back in the case it acts as if someone was touching the screen in random places.
