My 1st 4 replacement digitizers were for ipad 5’s . None of them workedand the air one screen had a replacement home button ordered for a ipad 5 . So NO your conclusion is not right. I’m thinking either something is wrong on the board from the damaged original home button or some other reset needs to be done I’ve seen in a video but forgot to try when the new screen was on. I do have two buttons coming from ifixit and will try one of them. Thanks for your experince in what’s worked for you but as usual everything i get seems to be outside the norm. I’ll wait and see. Just wondering if all the parts I’m getting are just bad ?
My first repair went much smoother than this one on. 10" ipad, i got in my head i could use a exacto knife to do it easilyer and cut thru the wifi and left antenna with i then had to replace. Sooo look at the comments people post under each procedure it can give you tips i found out later after i damaged a couple this , which i i had read them would not have happened. So also i used a head magnifyer with lights on the side from squadron models it was 25$ , it helped a lot. Perry
