Follow the steps in this guide to replace the Home Button Assembly, including the gasket and cable, in your iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi. Note that home buttons are paired with their respective logic board, so Touch ID will no longer work after you replace the Home Button Assembly.
Warning: the battery isolation method in this guide is outdated, and may result in irreversible damage to the battery pins of the logic board, effectively destroying it. If you choose to isolate the battery this way, heed all warnings and work extremely carefully. 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.

-
Fill a pot or pan with enough water to fully submerge an iOpener.
-
Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat.
-
Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water.
-
Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water.
-
Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel.
-
Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.

-
If your display glass is cracked, keep further breakage contained and prevent bodily harm during your repair by taping the glass.
-
Lay overlapping strips of clear packing tape over the iPad's display until the whole face is covered.
-
Do your best to follow the rest of the guide as described. However, once the glass is broken, it will likely continue to crack as you work, and you may need to use a metal prying tool to scoop the glass out.

-
-
Slide a battery isolation pick underneath the battery connector area of the logic board, and leave it in place while you work.
-
Alternatively, make a battery blocker using a playing card and slide it underneath the logic board connector to disconnect the battery.

-
-
Use a plastic opening tool to pry the bracket off the back of the Home Button.
-
-
-
Remove the Home Button bracket and peel up the tape connected to it.
-
Scrape off as much of the old adhesive residue from the bracket as you can, then clean it with acetone or high-concentration (90% or greater) isopropyl alcohol.
-
Secure the bracket with hot-melt glue, superglue, or high-strength double-sided tape. Make sure the bracket is aligned correctly before allowing your adhesive to cure, or the home button will not click when pressed.

There is a small black plastic ring between the back of the glass and the home button gasket that no one seems to be mentioning. Do you see it? It does not appear on any of the photos. What's up with that?
Its the washer, better to transfer to new screen if the screen does not come with the washer. Without the washer the home button will work fine, just feel weird. Good luck
As I understand it, the touch ID chip on the home button ribbon cable is paired to the logic board at the factory. Unless you put the same home button assembly back, you will lose the touch ID when a replacement home button assembly is installed. The home button will work but without touch ID
