touch not working after digitizer replacement
My wife's iPad Mini 3 (A1599) was dropped a few years ago and had a cracked screen. My brother-in-law attempted a replacement but touch never worked. My wife would really like to get some files off the device that are not in cloud storage but I haven't been able to get past the lock screen without touch.
I purchased a new digitizer, installed it and touch still doesn't work. Looking at where it plugs in, I noticed a pin is missing (see picture). Is that likely the issue and is that board replaceable?
The goal is to get some files from the device, not have a working device afterwards. Thanks for any help and advice.
Is dit een goede vraag?

Is Touch ID enabled on the device?

That’s a great point and I should have mentioned it. Unfortunately the home bottom ribbon cable broke when I replaced the digitizer. I could get a new one but I assume Touch ID would no longer work.

@Kimo Johnson Is Siri enabled and is the device on iOS 13 or later?

I don't expect it's on since my wife is paranoid about Siri and doesn't enable it on any devices.
