Introduzione
Follow this guide to remove or replace the home button assembly on an iPad mini 5 Wi-Fi. You may need to do this if your home button has stopped working.
Note that the original home button in this device is paired to the logic board, and swapping in a new button will disable Touch ID functionality.
For your safety, discharge the battery below 25% before disassembling your device. This reduces the risk of a dangerous thermal event if the battery is accidentally damaged during the repair. If your battery is swollen, take appropriate precautions.
Some photos in this guide are from a different model and may contain slight visual discrepancies, but they won't affect the guide procedure.
