    • Apply a suction cup halfway up the heated side.

    • Be sure the cup is completely flat on the screen to get a tight seal.

    • While holding the iPad down with one hand, pull up on the suction cup with strong, steady force to create a gap.

    • Depending on the age of your device, this may be difficult. If you have trouble, apply more heat and try again.

    • Be careful to only lift the glass enough to insert an opening pick—any more and you risk cracking the glass.

    • While holding the glass up with the suction cup, insert the point of an opening pick into the gap between the glass and body of the iPad.

    • Don't insert the opening pick any deeper than 2 mm into the side of the display. Inserting the pick deeper than 2 mm could damage the backlight assembly, LCD display, or touchscreen.

    • Reheat and reapply the iOpener to the left edge for a few minutes.

    • Insert a second opening pick alongside the first and slide the pick down along the edge of the iPad, releasing the adhesive as you go.

    • Throughout the rest of the procedure, if you encounter significant resistance while sliding the pick, stop and reheat the section you're working on. Applying too much pressure with the pick can crack the glass.

    • Be careful not to overheat the iOpener during the repair procedure. Wait at least ten minutes before reheating the iOpener.

    • If you have a flexible iOpener, you can bend it to heat both the upper left corner and the upper edge at the same time.

    • Slide the opening pick along the top edge of the iPad, stopping just before you reach the camera.

    • As you reach the front-facing camera, pull the pick out slightly and continue sliding it across the top edge.

    • Avoid sliding the opening pick over the front-facing camera, as you may smear adhesive onto the lens or damage the camera. The following steps will detail how to best avoid disturbing the front-facing camera.

    • Leave the opening pick in the iPad slightly past the front-facing camera.

    • Take a second pick and insert it to the left of the camera, where the first pick just was. Slide it back to the corner to completely cut any remaining adhesive.

Is the piece of tape connecting the HB cable to the bracket important?

Perrin Aybara - Replica

Home Button still does not work after home button transfer and digitizer replacement.

MC EnderFromVN - Replica

there is a tiny black circle on the actual button underneath the kapton tape. if that isnt properly lined up it will not depress properly. also if the collar isnt perfect the home button will not sit correctly and popout. its a pretty crappy design by apple.

jsox79 -

I agree crappy design, i tried realigning button several times, best i got was “sort of works”

josh - Replica

It took me several attempts - but I eventually got mine to work perfectly. I had put glue on the bracket - since there was glue on the old one - but that made the gap too wide, so it wasn’t seating the home button right. I also had a replacement that had a slightly bent plug for the touch - so it wasn’t seating properly and the touchscreen was not consistent. I eventually got it all seated (the connector and the home button). Then it worked like a charm. Thanks for the guide.
