Title:

Accidentally ripped home button flex cable opening iPad.

Text:

I was changing the screen for a coworker on an iPad Air 5. I’ve done a screen replacement twice for them but this time I accidentally forgot to disconnect the home button ribbon and yup it got sliced in half.

Does TouchID stop working on iPad if you use a new cable? Is there a way to splice them?

iPad 5
