Introduzione
Follow the steps in this guide to replace your iPad mini 4 display assembly, including the fused LCD and digitizer glass.
This procedure involves removing the screen then transferring the home button to your new assembly. In order to maintain Touch ID functionality you must transfer your original home button to the new screen.
Depending on your replacement part, you may also need to transfer the sleep/wake sensor for Smart Cover use, this portion of the procedure requires desoldering a cable.

Not only is that part in step 39 crucial to Smart-Cover function, but the regular sleep/wake function will not work if this isn’t transferred. Wish the replacements were shipped with this part attached, because soldering those tiny points is near impossible to do! Buyer/repairer beware.
Its better to have reassemble instruction, like where i am going to put the new adhesive?
The iFixIt replacement part did not come with adhesive, so I had to reuse the old adhesive that got pulled and torn during removal of the bad screen.
Also, the iFixIt replacement part does not come with the sleep/wake sensor (Step 39). Following my repair, the iPad is no longer capable of going to sleep (neither by the button on top nor through AssistiveTouch), so we have to resort to waiting for the lock screen timer to turn the screen off whenever we’re done using it. I feel the soldering that is required to maintain this functionality (I would imagine it would need a millimeter-diameter drop of solder on six contacts that are then pressed together with the transplanted part to form the bond without solder spilling onto a neighboring contact) is not within the capability of most casual repairers.
If I were to do this repair again, I would find a part that has fresh adhesive and the sleep/wake sensor already attached.
My kit did come with the adhesive, but it's a little tricky to figure out (and there is an embedded link to the adhesive). Needs some more pictures/pointers about re-installing the home button, ended up with a gap in the adhesive near the home button. Also, tips on how to remove shattered glass? Otherwise, thanks for the tutorial, looks new.
