Title:

Why did 5th gen ipad stop working.

Text:

Replaced screen, lcd and home button after son dropped bowling pin on device.

Charged up a little, Powered on and checked for screens working. Everything worked (except for home button)

Noticed home button ribbon cable was in backwards and that case was bent right by lighting port.

Was able to push case back into place. Now iPad will not boot up.

What could the cause be?

Device:

iPad 5 Wi-Fi

Status:
