What should you do if your iPad Home button does not respond to click when you press your finger on it?
Instead of fixing it yourself, you should send it to a competent iPad repair shop in Singapore, for instance, Hitec Mobile.
We will first determine if the Touch ID can be revived before replacing a new home button since the Touch ID function will be disabled once replaced.
Our technician with adequate skills will open the front panel of your iPad to check if there is any dirt stuck around the rim button. We will then use a cotton stick with 99% isopropyl alcohol to clean it.
One thing to take note: The home button on the iPad 9.7 and Mini does not come with a mount to hold it in place. The screen's metal frame bears the pressure when pressing the home button. So, it is advisable that you should not press it too hard or repeatedly.
If you cannot hear the click sound, it means that the Home button is not properly seated on the metal rim. If the display shows the message " Touch ID cannot be activated on this iPad," the cause is most likely a damaged flex cable. We will first inspect the thinnest part of the flex cable near the home button for any folded marks or tears. Next, we will try to re-solder the broken flex cable wire. If it does not work after rewiring, we will replace the iPad home button.
The cost of an iPad repair depends on the model and who provides the service. If Apple repairs an iPad after the warranty has expired, the cost will be higher than with a third-party service provider. One reason to hire an independent repair shop instead of bringing the device to Apple is the wallet-friendly price Apple would charge a couple of hundreds more for a similar repair.
